WWE Toys for Tots a success, remembering Dynamite, why SDL match was dropped, Jarrett on WWE.com, Fast Lane set, GLOW up for SAG awards, SDL audience, and Questions on The Shield's most recent reunion, WWE becoming WCW, and promoting Crown Jewel during Evolution

Ringside Collectibles, Zack Ryder, and Curt Hawkins celebrated a big success for Toys for Tots. That's incredible!

Chris Jericho and Dave Meltzer discussed Dynamite Kid on Jericho's latest podcast.

Paige addressed Mandy Rose vs. Naomi not taking place at advertised. I'm glad they acknowledged the change in plans.

Jeff Jarrett promoted TLC.

Fast Lane 2019 will be in Ohio on March 10.

GLOW has been nominated in the Screen Actors Guild for:
- Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series (Alison Brie)
- Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series
- Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Comedy or Drama Series

Smackdown Live drew 1.98 million viewers Tuesday night. I can't find an instance of the show ever doing less than two million viewers for two consecutive weeks until this month.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Realistically any push they gave Roman was going to turn some part of the audience off. Of course, when they curtail his push to appease that part of the audience, the Roman supporters lose faith. They've really booked themselves in a corner trying to appeal to two such different audiences with the same product.

2. Dean came back to help Seth out in a two-on-one situation due to their bond (The Shield was united before he left). Obviously it was a short-lived alliance.

Nothing to add to 3.

4. All four men in that match were significantly older than Hogan and Savage were when those skits aired. That said, it's what the Saudis wanted and they were paying for the show!

5. It made sense for them to promote an upcoming major show, but obviously part of the audience wasn't happy about the show happening amid the controversy.

More wrestling tomorrow.
