1957: The "Original" Fabulous Kangaroos consisting of Al Costello & Roy Heffernan debuted in New York, managed by Red Berry..

~~~They were carrying a huge banner on poles to the ring with "The Fabulous Kangaroos" on it..

~~~As they started to enter the arena there was a low ceiling & the banner struck it & Red started to tumble so Al tried to catch him..

~~~Al Costello went over too so naturally Roy tried to catch them both & all three ended up in a heap on the floor!

~~~They were all tangled up in the banner with their Aussie slouch hats all crooked on their heads in front of a few thousand people..

~~~The Kangaroos used 'Waltzing Matilda' as their entrance music and through little boomerangs into the crowd..

Roy Heffernan eventually quit the team and Al Costello recruited Don Kent as his partner..

1960s: While working in Toronto, the Kangaroos (Costello/Kent) were managed by George Cannon..

Al later formed a tag team with Karl von Brauner, known as the Internationals..

Al acted as manager for another version of the Kangaroos consisting of Don Kent & Roy Heffernan..

1990s: Al managed another version of the Kangaroos consisting of Al Snow & Denny Kass..
