Well I'm not saying its earth-shattering either. While a lot of people are at least aware of the WWE, and may recognize some of the iconic "faces" of the business, I can guarantee that unless you watched any of the sport, you wouldn't have any idea who Kurt Angle isThe problem is not (only) wrestling but more this sentence.
This is what sparked negativity (though yeah, if it was about the Switch, there would be more people who would find the piece of news interesting). Because non wrestling-fans have no clue who Kurt Angle is and what the Hall of Fame's requirements are so... ok? They added some random new guy in and everyone is supposed to find that earth shattering? Sorry, I don't.
I mean, if the original post said something like "even though he killed 64 people" or "and that's the first time someone enters the HoF in 64 years" or whatever, we could agree this is earth-shattering (though we would still not care), but right now no, we can't.
Yes and no. Indeed, no idea why we clicked lol. But then, once we clicked, if the first post didn't explicitely wrote "you should all care about this piece of news" and moreover without expliciting why we should, less people would answer "nope, you're wrong, I don't care". That's why you see me post in that thread and not in threads about the PS Vita (which I don't care about either), because there is no PS Vita thread that tells me I should care without reasons.If I don't care about wrestling, I don't think I would open this thread in the first place, let alone leave a comment. Just like if I saw someone make a thread about something I could care less about, I'm not gonna go in the thread and voice negativity towards the OP just because I'm ignorant about it or don't like or care for it
Yes and no. Indeed, no idea why we clicked lol. But then, once we clicked, if the first post didn't explicitely wrote "you should all care about this piece of news"
Wait, woah wait. Are you saying.....Yes and no. Indeed, no idea why we clicked lol. But then, once we clicked, if the first post didn't explicitely wrote "you should all care about this piece of news" and moreover without expliciting why we should, less people would answer "nope, you're wrong, I don't care".

You're in the General Off-topic Chat board, a board dedicated to topics other than vidya.Where am I. I thought this was a vidya board
Yeah, probably a wrong use sorry. He did not write that sentence exactly like this, but that's what his sentence means (I mean, "earth-shattering" and "for wrestling fans and non-fans", that means "everyone should care").I'll take this as wrong use of the word "explicit" as that would mean the OP wrote verbatim that "you should all care about this piece of news," which he didn't, rather that it's "earth shattering news" for wrestling fans and non-fans.
If that's really "just" something for WWE fans, well sorry about all this fuss that prevents you from celebrating, but the OP shouldn't have written (verbatim or not) that we should all care.
Basically in a nutshell, the WWE has a Hall of Fame ceremony every year. They pick a small handful of people, no more than 10 a year, and induct them. Usually the people inducted are legends of the business or celebrities who have appeared on their programming. Very rarely do they induct "younger" guys like Kurt Angle, as most who are inducted are retired or are planning to retireBut if I'm told I should care, I'd like to know why. Is it "just" because getting someone in the HoF isn't something that happens often?
Earth-shattering? Hell no, but its definitely a nice surprise for fans. It's literally the last person anyone would've ever expected to get inducted. Truthfully the WWE Hall of Fame is a complete joke with no real merits whatsoever. But what the hell, I'm a fan and I eat this stuff up
I answered that point in my previous postFair enough, but the point I was making was why not just ignore it?
I answered that point in my previous post
Why are people so butthurt about this thread?
