My Babes List (#57)

#57 Stacy Keibler

Stacy Ann-Marie Keibler (born October 14, 1979 in Baltimore, Maryland) is a diva for World Wrestling Entertainment on the SmackDown! brand.

An aspiring actress, Keibler is known for her figure, specifically her exceptionally long legs which are 41½ inches (105 centimetres) long. As such, her entrance music is a cover of the ZZ Top song "Legs" performed by Kid Rock.

Career

A talented dancer since the age of three, Keibler is accomplished in ballet, jazz, and tap. She is also a former cheerleader for the Baltimore Ravens. In 1999 she entered a contest held by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) to become one of their Nitro Girls, which she won.

While initially a Nitro Girl, she soon became a valet using the stage name Miss Handcock, later changed to the better known Miss Hancock, briefly serving as an associate for the tag team of Lenny Lane and Lodi dubbed Standards and Practices. After the team "fired" her, she went on to become the manager for Los Fabulosos, a Latin American tag team consisting of Silver King and El Dandy, leading them to their first major victories within TNT.

For a brief period, she began to court David Flair, who was already involved in a faux relationship with Daffeny. That led to a battle with her at the Bash at the Beach.

After a feud with the Misfits in Action stable, Stacy feigned pregnancy and later broke up with Flair. She began to use her real name and became the valet for Shawn Stasiak.

Stacy also had a short feud with Kimberly Page early in her career.

2001-2003

When WCW was purchased by the WWF in 2001, her contract was one of 24 that were retained by the WWF, making her a WWF (WWE) employee ever since. She was a heel to start with in The Alliance. She was still a heel after the Alliance broke up. Stacy originally teamed up with close friend Torrie Wilson, and the pair feuded with WWF girls like Trish and Lita. They lost to Trish and Lita in the first ever tag team bra and panties match at Invasion.

During her run in WWE, she has managed several successful tag teams including The Dudley Boyz. During which time she was nicknamed the "Duchess of Dudleyville" by Paul Heyman. Although, Paul pronounced it as "dutchess." Stacy also managed Test and Scott Steiner. She was involved in a battle between those two. As Test's marketing agent, she invented the idea that Test should call his fans "Testicles," cut his hair, and reshape his image. The happy couple didn't last forever, for Test became jealous of Stacy wanting to also be Steiner's manager.

This jealousy capitulated during a match on RAW, where Test turned heel and started to verbally abuse Stacy. Steiner managed to defeat Test for Stacy's services, and Stacy seemed happy as Scott's new manager. Test, however, was not happy at all, and petitioned for an intergender tag team match, pitting himself and former rival Chris Jericho against Scott and the petite Stacy. For a match to win back the services of Stacy, Test faked a leg injury to pick up the win.

A match was set for Unforgiven, and if Test won, he would not only retain Stacy's services, but those of Scott Steiner as well. Stacy attempted to whack Test with a chair, but he ducked and she hit Scott instead. Scott later turned heel by attacking Stacy when she botched another interference next RAW. Finally, GM Mick Foley put a stop to the abusive Test and Steiner and freed Stacy from her obligatory contracts with the pair.

2004

Stacy was chosen to record a track on the album WWE Originals. She and WWE music producer Jim Johnston recorded the track "Why Can't We Just Dance?" for the album. Other tracks were performed by Superstars such as Chris Jericho, Lilian Garcia and John Cena, each of which had their own music career. Her track was used on an episode of WWE Raw for herself, during the 2004 Raw Diva Search and even on the Viva Las Diva of the WWE DVD.

As one of the more popular RAW face Divas, Stacy took over the 2004 Raw Diva Search for a few weeks. That was followed by a dance competition with Molly. This led to her participating in some tag matches against the heel girls Gail Kim, Trish Stratus and Molly Holly. Her partners were Nidia and Victoria. Stacy showed off much improved wrestling skills, managing to get upset wins against Molly, Gail, and Trish. She even got herself a title match on October 11, 2004. However, Trish defeated her to retain the title.

Stacy was voted as the 2004 WWE Babe of the Year, being the first WWE Diva to beat Trish Stratus in the Babe of the Year competition (Trish was 2001-2003 Babe of the Year). As result of this, Stacy appeared on Raw following her victory and told everyone that she would bend over backwards to make the fans happy.

2005

Stacy soon began an angle with popular superstar Randy Orton. After kissing him on the cheek during a backstage segment on RAW, their looked to possibly be a romance there. Randy even saved her from receiving a Pedigree from the villainous Triple H. Stacy never accompanied Randy to his matches, which confused the fans about the relationship. She supported him from backstage and was never considered his manager. The storyline never really made any advances, and as Randy challenged the Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania 21, Randy ended the relationship by giving her an RKO, justifying this evil act by claiming she did not have enough confidence in him to defeat the Undertaker. In the end, Stacy's involvement with Orton was a device for his inevitable heel turn.

Keibler would go on to join forces with Hurricane and Rosey. She became 1/3 of their trio as Super Stacy. During this time, Stacy was credited as having one of her best matches to date with WWE Diva, Victoria, on an international edition of WWE Heat.

Stacy was then moved to SmackDown! as part of a trade with Christy Hemme, bringing Torrie Wilson and Candice Michelle to RAW. Keibler started a short feud with Jillian Hall, which ended up with the two having a match on Velocity, during which Hall captured the victory through cheating.

Outside of wrestling

Stacy currently writes a fitness column for Stuff Magazine. She was also the covergirl of the June 2005 issue, with her fourth pictorial in the publication.

Stacy is currently taking part in the second season of Dancing With The Stars. Her dance partner is ballroom dancer Tony Dovolani. She prepared with the rest of the cast, learning the dances. According to an online betting site, Keibler is the online pick to win the season with 2 to 1 odds, due in large part to 1) her popularity within WWE and 2) her previous dance background.

Personal life

During her days with WCW, Keibler was romantically linked with David Flair, the son of legendary wrestler Ric Flair. After joining WWE, Keibler was in a relationship with Andrew "Test" Martin for several years. The couple were reported to have separated shortly before Martin was fired by WWE while recovering from neck surgery, but maintained a friendship. In late-2004 and early-2005, it was rumored that Keibler was in a relationship with Randy Orton after being seen arriving and leaving different arenas together. It was later confirmed that they were not romantically linked off-screen.

In June 2005, Stacy was rumored to be in a relationship with actor Geoff Stults, best known for his appearances on 7th Heaven. The couple were photographed at many places together and seen as an item. The September 2005 edition of the tabloid, Star Magazine claimed that Keibler was involved in a love triangle with Geoff Stults and actress, Jennifer Aniston.[1] It was later announced that Aniston was in a relationship with the man that supposedly got her and Stults together, Vince Vaughn. Keibler has denied rumors of a relationship with Stults in two interviews and gave a "no comment" to Todd Grisham when asked about it on Byte This.
