On July 12, 2006, WWE programming returned to MSG Network for the first time since March 16, 1997. Two back to back episodes of "MSG Classics" air every Wednesday night. Each hour shows highlights of a WWF house show that took place at Madison Square Garden, originally telecast live on the network in the 1980s and 1990s.
