[1] Grobbe went around the world fighting in New Zealand, Australia as the Great Zorro, South Africa, and France.

In 1963, Grobbe signed a contract with the World Wide Wrestling Federation where he was managed by Wild Red Berry.

In 1964 he also teamed up with his storyline brother Max Mortier, played first by Gil Voiney and later by Jack Berry.

Mortier returned to the WWWF in the mid-1960s, and upset Bobo Brazil in less than a minute in Madison Square Garden with "the guillotene" (full nelson) submission.

Mortier had excellent matches against Ed Carpentier—often a "draw"—being pinned by Carpentier in Madison Square Garden on his second and final exit from the WWWF in 1968.
