I am very sad to pass on the news that Bob Mulrenin, who for many years has been a fixture shooting photos around the world for Ringside Collectibles’ WrestlingFigs.com, is currently hospitalized in Brooklyn, NY and is in dire condition as he has been battling cancer since this past April.
With the blessing of his sister, I am passing on that Bob unfortunately took a bad fall in his home over the weekend and has been hospitalized since. He will likely be moving into hospice shortly and it is becoming ever more obvious that the end is coming closer.
As I noted above, Bob has been working and shooting photos for Ringside Collectibles for years and even before that, was a well known face all over the country as he regularly shot at WWE, AEW, Impact Wrestling, independent events and conventions. Bob has been shooting regularly since the days of WWF tapings in Allentown, PA in the late 1970s, so he witnessed and shot lots of historic moments. In recent years, he was a big part of Paul Heyman's Heyman Hustle website as well. He has always had great stories and insights into the talents and events he shot.
To say Bob is beloved in pro wrestling circles, especially among the women who work in the business, would be an extreme understatement. He has been a trusted friend to many in the business and a photographer, was regularly requested to do women’s photo shoots for the Impact Wrestling locker room. He was also an extremely trusted, close friend of The Road Warriors during their career, among many, many other talents, past and present. Bob has also been a great friend to me personally and this site.
After Wrestlemania this past April in Texas, Bob learned he was ill. He immediately went into treatment but still refused to let it curtail his travel and photography schedule, continuing to cover WWE, AEW and Impact Wrestling events around his chemotherapy. He was adamant that no matter what, he was going to live his life on his terms, and he has, especially when his travel took him back to his beloved Las Vegas.
Bob’s sister asked me to pass on that if anyone wishes to reach out, they can via Bob’s cell number.
On behalf of everyone here at the site, I send my best wishes and hopes to Bob, his entire family and to all his friends.
