Jennifer Blum

It wasn't a kick. It was a step.


Here's an illustration of our earlier post - Gina Carano will mess you up. Crush's now infamous "step" on the head of Jennifer Blum is presented on YouTube in all its amusing-yet-somewhat-scary splendor.

A longer, more complete version of the Crush/Blum match is here.


Gina Carano will mess you up

There were two great bits from last night's "American Gladiators":

  1. Gina "Crush" Carano using her foot to push Jennifer Blum off the platform in "Earthquake".
  2. Valerie "Siren" Waugaman going airborne after her target was hit by Jennifer Blum.

Blum's loss in Earthquake was subsequently overturned, because of illegal foot use by Crush. Blum claimed that Crush had "kicked" her, while Crush claimed the move was actually a mere "step". Either way, Blum is lucky that Crush used her foot to push Blum's head down, instead of using it to "crush" the fingers Blum was using to cling to the platform. After Crush dislodged Blum, she walked around the platform giggling like a schoolgirl - so Blum was probably lucky to get out of there alive.

Siren's flight into the pool during "Assault" was very cool. Blum managed to tag the target using the cannon, and Siren went sky-high. During Blum's interview, Hulk Hogan observed that Siren "needed to take a shower anyway," which doesn't seem like a very nice thing to say.


Jennifer Blum Cameo


One of the competitors in tonight's episode of "American Gladiators" is Jennifer Blum of Franklin Park, New Jersey. Blum turns up in the video above as someone auditioning for "American Gladiators" in Brooklyn. Reporter Ted O'Gorman attempts to arm wrestle Blum but it's not really a contest - she puts him down with little apparent effort.

Interestingly, you might remember Blum as one of those girls back in the 80s who sued to play on a boys' sports team.
