* ChewToy: She was probably the most frequent target of KinkySpanking and ComedicUnderwearExposure on the entire roster, and it was PlayedForLaughs as much as it was for {{Fanservice}}. Notably, she also received a Stone Cold Stunner from Austin for refusing a beer, which was played comedically, but the RKO she received from Randy Orton and the Pumphandle Slam she took from Test were PlayedForDrama to show how ruthless they'd become.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: If you enjoyed ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Monday Night Raw]]'' between 2002 and 2005, you have to thank her for a small part of that. In 2002, she came to ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackdown Thursday Night SmackDown]]'' as General Manager Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon's executive assistant. But what no one knew at the time was that Keibler had actually been signed to ''Raw'', and was only on ''[=SmackDown=]'' as ''Raw'' General Manager Wrestling/EricBischoff's corporate spy. While in Stephanie's office, Stacy forged a number of documents that made it appear as if certain ''[=SmackDown=]'' Superstars had, like her, actually contracted with ''Raw''; fatefully, two of these Superstars were Wrestling/{{Batista}} and Wrestling/RandyOrton. This didn't result in anything huge at first, as Batista became a "Deacon" and one of Keibler's allies in Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys faction, while Orton was injured soon after his debut and had his career sidelined for the rest of the year. But in early 2003, Wrestling/TripleH and Wrestling/RicFlair introduced both of these men as the junior members of their new Wrestling/{{Evolution}} stable. Batista and Orton proved quite useful to HHH, to say the least: they helped him retain his World Heavyweight Championship for far longer than he deserved, and against the likes of Wrestling/ScottSteiner, Wrestling/BookerT and Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}. They also played a crucial role in causing Wrestling/{{Kane}} to lose the match whose stipulation was that he would have to unmask, costing Kane what last shreds of his sanity remained so that he turned against his brother and former ally Wrestling/TheUndertaker and buried him alive -- causing 'Taker to be resurrected as his "Deadman" persona once again in 2004 after having been a biker character for the past four years. And of course, Evolution would set the stage for the titanic power struggle between HHH and Orton, which started in 2004 and continued off and on for nearly five whole years after that! (The two wouldn't bury the hatchet permanently until 2013, when they joined forces as members of The Authority.)

* EvilFeelsGood: As a heel, Stacy would show clear enjoyment through smiling or laughter when the babyfaces got hurt. This was particularly noticeable when she attacked Torrie Wilson and had the Dudley Boyz put her through a table. Stacy laughed about it, and Jim Ross questioned her morals on commentary.

Sadist personality as a heel

Added DiffLines:

* {{Sadist}}: As a heel, Stacy showed she had a sadistic side. She often enjoyed watching the pain and suffering of others, and would mock them by pointing and laughing at them. This was usually when she was watching the men she was aligned with hurt the babyface wrestlers in the ring. When she was Vince's assistant she was ringside to see Triple H get beaten and bloodied with weapons at the hands of six other men, and she grinned with delight as she watched. When she was the manager of the Dudley Boyz, she got a thrill from seeing victims, such as Spike Dudley, get driven through tables. Stacy even had the pleasure of being able to give the order to have Torrie Wilson put through a table, and she enjoyed herself and laughed as Torrie lay motionless at her feet.

A Date With Rosie Palms is no longer a trope


* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Because of Stacy's beauty and charisma, she turned babyface in 2002 and never was a heel again. She would get raucous cheers whenever her music hit. Bubba Dudley complained in an interview many years later that Stacy's presence with the Dudleyz made it harder for them to be seen as heels since she motivated many of the fans to schedule ADateWithRosiePalms. He eventually had to tell her to stop face-like actions at ringside.

Stacy Keibler never had a singles match in 2006. Her last match was against Jillian Hall on Velocity back in 2005. Case in point, she grew a lot as a competitor in 2005.


* {{Xenafication}}: While not to the extent of some of her peers, just compare a 2001 match to a 2006 match.
