A new Monday, Wednesday, Friday snapshot of the day in pro wrestling. Today is Monday, September 10...

WEEKEND: Jeff Hardy won BFG Series to face Aries at Bound for Glory. The Brogue Kick was "banned." Canada fans cheered the heels on Smackdown house shows, setting the stage for Raw. Heyman says Lesnar isn't returning to UFC post-WWE. Lethal booked for ROH World Title shot. NWA Hollywood dropped the "NWA" (or vice versa) and is now Championship Wrestling from Hollywood.

TODAY: Raw in Montreal. How will this play out with Hart returning to scene of Montreal Screwjob? How will WWE book Punk as a heel in pro-Punk city Part 2? Will WWE find an opponent, any opponent for The Miz at Night of Champs?

THIS WEEK: WWE completes Night of Champions hype at Smackdown taping Tuesday. TNA back in Orlando Thursday for PPV fall-out. ROH returns to iPPV Saturday in Chicago.

LIVECAST: PWTorch columnist Bruce Mitchell & East Coast Cast host Travis Bryant at 7:00 EST prior to Raw start. Talk Raw with PWTorch editor Wade Keller & Prowrestling.net's Jason Powell Tuesday at 5:30 EST. Email questions to pwtorchlivecast@gmail.com .

- Imagine the reaction when Hart's music hits tonight in Montreal. Remember the huge pop in Montreal pre-Summerslam 2005 when Shawn Michaels was heel and used Hart's music as part of his promo? HBK line from that August 2005 HBK promo: "You will never, and I mean never, hear or see Bret 'The Hitman' Hart in a WWE ring again."

- Curious to see how TNA balances Austin Aries's programs pre-BFG PPV. Aries vs. Hardy needs work, as opposed to other possibility of Aries vs. Bully, which sold itself, and Aries is distracted by Aces & Eights business. Does TNA lean heavily toward Aries-Hardy for four weeks? Does TNA treat Aries-Hardy like a side dish during Aries's A&E battles?

- Poll Result: PWTorch readers are selecting Daniels & Kaz vs. Styles & Angle as the Best Match from No Surrender with majority vote.

- The Rock's Daily Tweet of Inspiration: "3am cardio. 430am breakfast. 6am hit the gym. 9am on set - FAST 6. Throwin' a man through a wall today.. repeatedly. #DoUntoOthers."

- Smackdown in Canada this week in 2004: JBL beat Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle in triple threat main events to retain the WWE Title.

- This week's Raw in 2000: Chris Benoit & Kane beat Undertaker & Rock in 5:00 in a No DQ match.

- Monday Night Wars this week in 1996: On Raw - Undertaker beat Salvatore Sincere in a 10-minute main event. On Nitro - John Tenta beat Randy Savage via count-out in main event. ... Other Stories: WCW teases Sting heel turn on Luger. WWF counters with (fake) Razor Ramon and Diesel teases.

- 15 years ago: Terry Funk held "WrestleFest" for a "Beyond the Mat" taping. Bret Hart beat Funk in the main event. Also, Mankind over Sabu, Dory Funk, Jr. over RVD, more ECW matches on undercard.

- WWECW on Syfy 5 years ago: The Miz over Tommy Dreamer, ECW champ C.M. Punk & Stevie Richards over Elijah Burke (The Pope in TNA) & Kevin Thorn.

- NFL Week 1 Sunday Picks: Strong early games predictions, poor late games predictions. 8-1 to start, 8-5 for the day.

Monday Night Picks: Ravens over Bengals and Chargers over Raiders.

- And, finally, check out PWTorch contributor Alex Roberts's latest video from his "Rotoscopic Glossary of Professional Wrestling." This installment is Petey Williams's Canadian Destroyer.
