Jay Skillet

Jan Kronenberg (born 14 September 1991), better known by his ring name Jay Skillet, is a German professional wrestler.

He is best known for his work in Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw).

On 12 March 2011, at 16 Carat Gold, Skillet made his debut for Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw), where he was squashed by Jon Ryan.

On 2 July, at Dead End, Skillet teamed with Jason Hendrix, defeating Aaron Insane and Chris Rush.

On 18 September, at Live in Mannheim, Skillet and Hendrix, now named The Wanderers, defeated The Mind (Big Van Walter and Karsten Beck) for the World Tag Team Championship.

This reign saw them used as transitional champions, although they did defend the title once, with a win over the pairing of Adam Cole and Drew Gulak.

On 18 September, at CZW Back In Germany, they were defeated by the Sumerian Death Squad (Michael Dante and Tommy End), ending their reign at 13 days.

On 17 December, at True Colors, as part of the 16 Carat Gold qualification block, Skillet faced Kim Ray in a losing effort.

In January 2012, Skillet defeated Beck at Back to the Roots, but failed to make 16 Carat Gold as he went to a time limit draw with 2Face at a 18+ Underground event.

On 12 February, at Live in Mannheim, Skillet began his trial series (which he would continue throughout the year), where he was defeated by Jonathan Gresham.

He and Gresham tagged for the first time at 16 Carat Gold, where they defeated Keel Inkasso (Aaron Insane and Chris Rush).

On 24 April, at Payback 5, they had their first title shot as a tag team, but were defeated by the Sumerian Death Squad.

On 11 August, at the Fans Appreciation Weekend, Skillet and Gresham, now going by RockSkillet, won another title shot, after defeating The Leaders of the New School (Marty Scurll and Zack Sabre Jr..).

The next night, RockSkillet won the World Tag Team Championship, defeating the Sumerian Death Squad in a two out of three falls match.

On 2 November, at Fight Club, RockSkillet had their first defence of the title, defeating OI4K (Dave Crist and Jake Crist).

On 8 December, at the 12th Anniversary show, Skillet failed to qualify for 16 Carat Gold, after he was defeated by Tommy End.

RockSkillet began 2013 with two successful title defences.

On 19 January, at Back to the Roots, they defeated The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson), and on 2 February, at a show in Fulda, they defeated Champions Of Champions (Absolute Andy and Bad Bones) On 3 March, at 16 Carat Gold, The AUTsiders (Big Van Walter and Robert Dreissker) defeated RockSkillet, ending their reign at 203 days.

On 28 March, at Die Kneipe #7, Skillet reunited The Wanderers with Jason Hendrix, and went on to feud with the AUTsiders and Keel Holding (Sasa Keel, Aaron Insane and Michael Isotov).

On 6 July, at Broken Rulz, The Wanderers and Gebrüder Schild (Robert Schild and Vincent Schild) defeated the AUTsiders and Keel Holding in an eight-man tag team match.

Later that night, in the Shortcut to the Top match, Skillet eliminated Insane, who had just eliminated Hendrix.

He was then one of five wrestlers who was quickly eliminated by Walter.

On 14 July, at Mannheim Mayhem, The Wanderers defeated Keel Holding in a Mannheim Mayhem match.

On 17 August, at the Fans Appreciation Night, Skillet partnered Ricky Marvin in a loss to the AUTsiders for the World Tag Team Championship.

The feud continued on the 13th Anniversary tour, where Skillet was defeated by members of the AUTsiders and Keel Holding, as well as Karsten Beck.

His only win on the tour came in a four-way match against Beck, Kim Ray and Vincent Schild, and he ended the tour with a loss to 2Face.

Apart from a single appearance in 2015, Skillet did not wrestle for wXw for the next three and half years.

Beginning in April 2017, Skillet started tagging with Francis Kaspin (a former Westside Dojo trainee), and their first match together was at a wXw Academy show.

Skillet made his return to the promotion at Shortcut to the Top.

In the aforementioned event, Skillet eliminated Young Money Chong, before Emil Sitoci eliminated him with a gutbuster.

Afterwards, Skillet and Kaspin, now going by Jay FK, were mainly used in the tag division.

Skillet had two unsuccessful #1 contendership matches in November and December; with the first at Broken Rules, a three-way match for the World Tag Team Championship between Sitoci and Dirty Dragan and eventual winners, Monster Consulting (Avalanche and Julian Nero), and the second at a show in Hamburg, against Bobby Gunns for the Shotgun Championship.

Jay FK rounded out the year with a loss to Monster Consulting at the 17th Anniversary show.

In January 2018, Timothy Thatcher, impressed with Jay FK's recent wins, offered them a title shot.

Skillet thought that Ringkampf considered them easy opponents, and in turn, showed disrespect to Thatcher and Walter.

On February 8, at Dead End, Ringkampf defeated Jay FK, where Skillet tapped out to Thatcher's submission hold.

Post-match, Ringkampf had their customary handshakes, which saw Skillet deciding to slap Walter, before reluctantly accepting the gesture.

On 25 February, Skillet failed to qualify for 16 Carat Gold, when he was defeated by Mike Bailey in a three-way match, also involving Julian Pace.

On March 10, at the event, Jay FK were in a #1 contendership four-way match against Monster Consulting, Mark Haskins and Matt Sydal and eventual winners Rise (Da Mack and Ivan Kiev).

After 16 Carat Gold, Jay FK went on a winning streak, which lasted until they were defeated in Ludwigshafen by The Latin American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz).
