The commercial was shot inside the company's headquarters, known as Titan Towers, in Stamford, Connecticut and featured several memorable moments.

"The context of this commercial fits the WWF to a tee," says a very young-looking Dwayne Johnson - in those days still known mostly as The Rock - in an impromptu on-set interview.
