Randy Mulkey, one half of the beloved 1980s tag team The Mulkey Brothers, is currently battling multiple myeloma, a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer. Known for their underdog spirit and memorable upset victory in Jim Crockett Promotions, the Mulkeys became cult favorites among wrestling fans.

In addition to his cancer diagnosis, Randy faced a severe bout of pneumonia earlier this year that left him hospitalized and fighting for his life. Despite these challenges, he remains optimistic about his recovery. In a recent interview, he shared, “I shouldn’t be here right now,” reflecting on the severity of his condition. His resilience and determination mirror the tenacity he displayed in the ring during his wrestling career.
