Bernard Hoffer (composer for original Thundercats' main theme) had a similar style to the one of Bill Conti. Conti firstly became worldwide known for his contributions to the OST for Rocky, and then the saga as a whole. Then he also worked for OSTs in eventual 80s blockbusters, including the Karate Kid saga and 007's move "Only for the Eyes", as well as the OST for the 1984 Summer Olympics. And, eventually, American Gladiators' main theme.

Lori (Ice) Fetrick, gladiator: I was bodybuilding at the time, training at Gold’s Gym in Venice when I ran into Zapp. I was like, "How'd you get on that show? Are you doing it again ?" She said. “No, I’m pregnant.” "How do I try out?" “Oh, just watch the show. At the end, they’ll tell you.” Well, they didn’t. Because there was no internet at that time, it took me three months to find the production company and get a tryout. from the sports illustrated article about AG
