I would like to know when Robinson's last UK match was before he set off on his travels?
We know he popped back in the seventies and wrestled Lee Bronson on tv.
Usually when they leave they start dropping results before they go. Al Hayes dropped his belt to Bruno the night before he left.
In Robinson's case, as The Wrestler informed us with great exasperation, Robinson left on a short tour, but kept extending it into what became a near permanent absence. In this way he may not have started losing.
Recently we discussed Zebra Kid's long losing streak before he left. It seems to be a rite of passage, and also a sign of professionalism. McManus did the noble thing plenty of times.
I believe it was in 1968 some time. I don't think there are any 1969 Robinson appearances, but I could be wrong. Maybe Mrs Robinson in the 1968 film had something to do with it .....

Last one I can see is a 2-0 win over Steve Veidor at Sheffield, October 30, 1968
As a believer in those days I was right narked to see Veidor in the vacant title match, which should have been Wall v Davies.
Having seen this more than fifty years later I'm even more narked.
