Straight off the podcast's Facebook page, here's undoubtedly one of the weirdest moments in television history.

Holy crap. The moron even misquoted HPL while quoting HPL. Huh, leave it to a "wrestler" to screw up a perfectly good line. Undecided

Awesome! I'm just waiting for Manny Pacquiao to scream: 'Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!' during his next fight bout, he is Filipino after all.

Or introduce a new wrestler with those fishy eyes and narrow head, calling himself "The Innsmouth Looker!"

I picture a skinny guy in a leotard printed to look like an old suit and tie, called The Antiquarian. His signature move would be called the Content Correlator.

"The most merciful thing in the world is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

The least merciful thing in the world... is The Antiquarian."

Oh boo-hiss to both of you. You have shattered my already low opinion of the WWE.

I don't know what kind of signature move the Hound of Tindalos would have, but it would involve the turnbuckles, because the Hounds express through corners.

Hop out of the ring, grab the opponent, and slam his face into the turn buckle by leaping off the edge of the ring while holding onto the guy. That way, the victim is "pulled through the angle" by the Hound.

That's actually a pretty good idea, Bob. Are you sure you're not a wrestling fan? Smiley I like the idea for the Antiquarian, too.

Yeah, HHH screwed up the line but look at it this way. At least someone in the writing department (such as it is) at the WWE is a Lovecraft fan.

Yeah, Dusty Tome, you may have me there on that one. I guess we have to take our cultist brethren where we can find them. Even if they are liable to misquote an important passage in the middle of a ritual.

Yeah Bob, that's true but at least that's the part of the story where things get really interesting.  Grin

Worse, a "sullen Filipino", ala "Out of the Aeons."  As an individual who spends a lot of time in the Filipino community, I'd have to say this is a very unlikely combination, unless sullen is redefined to mean "prone to constant smiling".
