Mike Mooneyham continues his 4-part series on Bill and Randy Mulkey in this week’s column that is part 3.

Mooneyham notes that the Mulkeys often didn’t know until they got to the arena the night of a show on whether they were going to be a heel or babyface.

He then tells an anecdote, with the help of Randy Mulkey, about a night the pair took on the Rock ‘N Roll Express at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium in Greenville, SC (Jim Crockett Promotions had shows there every Monday night at one point during the territory days).

A neighbor of the Mulkeys, who babysat them when they were younger, was upset at them for taking on the Rock ‘N Roll Express that she pulled a hawkbill knife out at ringside :

“They (Rock ’N Roll Express) shot me out of the ring, and I went out on her side. She had been telling me she was going to whip my (behind) and everything. She got all up in my face, and I bowed up at her,” Randy said. “I kind of turned my head one way and had my left hand out there. Then she caught me with that hawkbill.”

Randy intervened with police to keep the neighbor from being arrested. The next week, the Mulkeys faced Ivan Koloff and Krusher Kruschev and the same lady was happily pulling for them.

Mooneyham notes that Greenville was where Ole Anderson was stabbed by an elderly fan with a hawkbill knife ten years prior to the Mulkey incident.

The column then discusses the Mulkeys in the Florida territory and their thoughts that they might have gotten a bigger push there had someone like Jim Cornette been doing the booking, instead of Dusty Rhodes, who they said made big promises that didn’t come true.

The final installment of the this series will be published next week.
