Professional wrestling career

Perspective
Mulkey made his professional wrestling debut in 1985 in the Mid-Atlantic for Jim Crockett Promotions. During most of his career, he teamed up with his brother Bill. Known for their bleached blonde mullets and purple trunks. They were on a losing streak of 0–180. On March 28, 1987, that all changed when the Mulkeys won an upset victory over The Gladiators (Gladiator #1 and Gladiator #2) to qualify for the Jim Crockett Memorial Cup 1987 tournament. This happened when one of the Gladiators was about to bodyslam bringing one of the Mulkeys back to the ring. The other Mulkey shuck up behind the Gladiator by tripping and pinning for the 1–2–3. It was considered Mulkey Mania![4] They lost in the first round of the Jim Crockett Memorial Cup 1987 to Denny Brown and Todd Champion.[5][6]
In 1987 they also worked in Florida.
In November 1988, Ted Turner bought Jim Crockett Promotions and renamed it World Championship Wrestling. The brothers went their separate ways with Randy teaming with various jobbers[7] and Bill working in other promotions. They reunited in 1990 working for the World Wrestling Federation.[8] They retired had separate careers.
On August 11, 2007, the brothers reunited for a one night appearance at NWA Legends Show defeating George South and his son George Jr. in Charlotte.[9]
Randy returned to the ring for one last time at WrestleCade 2016 in a battle royal won by George South.
