Wrestlers

The Resume

    Wrestled for the WWE (then known as the WWWF), WWA and several NWA regional promotions
    Former WWWF Tag Team Champions, NWA International Tag Team Champions and WWA Tag Team Champions
    Roy Heffernan (1925-September 24, 1992, born in Australia - birth name is Laurence Roy Heffernan)
    Al Costello (December 14, 1920-January 22, 2000, born in Lingua Salina, Italy - birth name is Giacoma Costa)

Why they might be annoying:

    They were billed as being from Australia, however Al Costello is from Italy.
    They were so well known for their showman antics that their incredible wrestling ability went unnoticed.
    They carried around boomerangs as a cheap prop to sell their image.
    They would occasionally cause riots in the arenas.
    They once had to hide under the ring because fans were throwing chairs at them. Later, the fans tried to set the drapes surrounding the ring on fire.
    There were other unsuccessful versions of the Kangaroos after the original tandem retired.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were one of the first wrestling tag teams.
    They are credited for cementing the credibility of tag team wrestling.
    They were one of the originators in entertaining fans outside the ring, a fairly new concept at the time.
    While Hulk Hogan’s ‘Eye of the Tiger’ is credited for incorporating ring entrance ‘theme music,’ The Fabulous Kangaroos came out to ‘Waltzing Matilda’ some 30 years earlier.
    They are in the Wrestling-Observer Hall of Fame.
    They were the first tag team to be inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame.
