The Eliminator soundtrack had lyrics as well back in the day, but they used an instrumental version on the show:

I can only presume this was intended for the accompanying soundtrack which they put out on CD at the time, as I can't see where else it would have gone if the intention all along was to have John Sachs commentating!

This blew my mind when I first found out about it a couple of years ago. It's pretty awful. The awkwardness of it all makes it sound like they just made it up as they recorded it. 😆

I found the theme on YouTube years ago which was subsequently taken down by the copyright bots but I think I downloaded it and a bunch of other stuff (including some variations of the other music beds from the original show but I can't remember if those came from the CD). I'll have a look through my files and see if I kept the Eliminator theme after I had to replace my NAS drive due to, well running out of space basically Watch this space.

I used to listen (watch?) those uploads every now and then and really enjoyed it. The music was great. I was sad when they were all removed from YouTube. I was tempted to buy the soundtrack off ebay so I could rip them but I never got around to it (and didn't care quite enough to spend the money, to be honest.)

As far as I know from quickly browsing ebay, the event tracks were on three albums - 1992's "Gladiators", 1993's "Return of the Gladiators", and 1998's "Gladiators '98". None of the cases specify which version of the Eliminator is on them though. I'm not sure if there were any other releases.
There was a release in 1996 called "Gladiators: The Boys Are Back in Town", which featured two versions of the song you can probably imagine from the title, along with "Raw Muscle" and "Tussle With The Muscle" from the ending credits.
