Prepare for a trip inside the man responsible for the character of The Franchise Shane Douglas. Troy Martin is universally regarded as one of the most intelligent, well-spoken men in the wrestling business, and now he sits down across from Sean Oliver for a trip into his past, as well as his future. Troy tackles his childhood and the pain of loss as well as the formative years in his education and career. Martin’s successes did not come without a price. We will explore the pains of divorce, addiction, and the frustration of education from a teacher’s perspective. After removing himself from Extreme Rising, he is set to embark on a venture to launch a new, revolutionary wrestling organization and you’ll hear all about it. It’s all here…high school, college, wrestling, teaching, and yes, Target…all in this latest edition of Breaking Kayfabe.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
