- The Fabulous Kangaroos were a professional wrestling tag team who existed in various forms from 1957 until 1983. The first incarnation of The Fabulous Kangaroos was formed when Italian Australian Al Costello teamed with Australia native Roy Heffernan and adopted an "Ultra Australian" gimmick complete with boomerangs, bush hats, and the song "Waltzing Matilda" as their entrance music. Costello and Heffernan are arguably the most famous version of The Kangaroos, regarded as one of the top tag teams to ever compete in professional wrestling, and are often credited with popularizing tag team wrestling in the late 1950s and 1960s. Later versions of The Kangaroos saw Al Costello team with Ray St. Clair in 1967, and then with Don Kent from 1968 until 1974. Don Kent went on to team with Bruno Bekkar, and later Johnny Heffernan (a storyline cousin of Roy Heffernan) to keep The Fabulous Kangaroos name alive until 1983. The Fabulous Kangaroos made their last appearance in 1983, but almost a decade later, the then 72-year-old Al Costello managed a team known as "The New Fabulous Kangaroos" in the American Independent circuit. The New Fabulous Kangaroos consisted of little known wrestlers Mickey Doyle, Denny Kass and Al Snow; of the three, only Snow went on to national and international recognition. Both Costello and Heffernan died before The Kangaroos were honored as the first tag team to be inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2003, which started a tradition of inducting a new team every year.

Successive versioni dei Kangaroos videro Al Costello lottare in coppia con Ray St. Clair nel 1967, e poi con dal 1968 al 1974. Don Kent fece poi coppia con , e successivamente con Johnny Heffernan ("cugino" di Roy Heffernan nella kayfabe) per tenere in vita i Fabulous Kangaroos fino al 1983. Circa un decennio dopo, l'allora settantaduenne Al Costello fece da manager ai "New Fabulous Kangaroos" in federazioni del circuito indipendente. I New Fabulous Kangaroos erano costituiti da Mickey Doyle, Denny Kass e Al Snow. Sia Costello sia Heffernan morirono prima che i Fabulous Kangaroos ricevessero l'onore di essere introdotti nella Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame nel 2003. (it)
