History Wrestling / StacyKeibler

Her big break in the entertainment industry came when she won a contest to become a new Nitro Girl for WCW in 1999. She initially appeared performing dance routines under the name Skye - before becoming a proper on screen character as Miss Hancock, valet to Standards and Practices. She wrestled the occasional match, though she was not an ActionGirl herself. After a storyline romance with Reid Flair, she started using her real name.

Stacy Keibler (born Stacy Ann-Marie Keibler October 14, 1979 in UsefulNotes/{{Baltimore}}, Maryland) is a ProfessionalWrestling personality-turned-actor, who got her start as a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball Baltimore Ravens]] cheerleader. She got her big break winning the Wrestling/{{WCW}} Nitro Girl Contest in 1999, and was one of the two women (the other being Wrestling/TorrieWilson) brought to Wrestling/{{WWE}} upon WCW's buyout in 2001. It was there that she remained until appearing on season two of ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'' in 2006.

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: One of the main reasons she remained a face after 2002.

* MsFanservice: Of course.
** DangerouslyShortSkirt: Stacy would wear these for a deliberate PantyShot when entering the ring, as well as when she would do a boot choke in the corner.
** MaleGaze: Even by Divas standards, as she got LOTS of attention for her legs and her butt. In 2011, she posed nude from the back for the book ''Culo'', the title of which is Spanish for "butt" or "ass."
** PantyShot: Part of her entrance.
** LingerieScene: The ''WWE Divas Undressed'' event and photo shoot, plus various other times in her career.
** ShesGotLegs: A given, since she used Music/KidRock's cover of the {{Trope Namer|s}} as her theme music. She's 5'11, and 42" of that are her legs, meaning that her legs make up almost 60% of her overall height. At the time, she was the only WWE Diva with long enough legs to step over the middle rope while entering the ring.
** WalkingSwimsuitScene: '''MANY''' Divas photoshoots.
** WhoWearsShortShorts: When she would actually wrestle, these would be her preference over short skirts.

* ShamefulStrip: Just look at all her bra and panties matches...

* NerdGlasses: During her stint with the Dudleyz, Stacy wore the bulky Dudley gimmick glasses with the lenses popped out and tape on the bridge, ypically on top of her head, rather than on her nose.

* TookALevelInBadass: In late 2004, when she pinned Wrestling/MollyHolly in three separate matches (although she needed some help the third time), became Number One Contender to Wrestling/TrishStratus' Women's Championship, and then entered a seven-Diva Battle Royal at ''Taboo Tuesday'' and did better than anyone could have expected, making it more than two-thirds of the way through the match and being the longest-lasting face Diva left in the ring. Pretty impressive for someone who was consistently losing Bra and Panties matches just two years earlier. Alas, it was only temporary. WWE had wanted to give Stacy a reign as Women's Champion and were trying to build her up. She was originally booked to win the Taboo Tuesday battle royal, but on the day of the match, she told WWE officials she didn't deserve to be champion as she wasn't a wrestler, and they should leave the title on Trish Stratus. Shortly afterwards, Stacy was back losing Bra and Panties matches to newcomer (and 2004 Diva Search winner) Christy Hemme, reverting her back to her FauxActionGirl status.

As usual, you can find the basics about her career at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacy_Keibler The Other Wiki]].

!!! "She's got tropes, she knows how to use them..."

* TheAdjectivalSuperhero[=/=]AlliterativeName: Super Stacy.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: Suspected of this by some fans, due to her [[AllJewsAreAshkenazi Ashkenazi-sounding last name]] and [[FacialProfiling vaguely Semitic facial features]]…but as she was RaisedCatholic, it isn't very likely. Still, she ''does'' hail from Baltimore, a city famous for its ethnic and religious diversity and that (at least proportionately) is home to a Jewish population that rivals that of New York, so it's possible that Stacy has a mixed ethnoreligious heritage. If she does, it's definitely a case of MatzoFever.

** During the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-t.html WCW World Tag Team Champions]] Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys vs. the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-world-t.html WWE World Tag Team Champions]] the [[Wrestling/MattHardy Hardy]] [[Wrestling/JeffHardy Boyz]] cage match at ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 2001'', Stacy pulled up the back of her shorts to distract referee Nick Patrick, so she could grab the key to help the Dudleys win, which they did.

* ContinuityNod: While Trish Stratus was enjoying her storyline romance with Chris Jericho, Stacy offered her advice. She specifically said that there was no love lost between her and Jericho - referencing an incident that happened six months previously. Jericho had been feuding with Test and accidentally struck Stacy with a chair at ringside.
** Likewise her relationship with Torrie Wilson was still notably a little frosty in 2003 - despite both of them now being faces. This nodded that they still remembered their feud during the Invasion.

* HiddenDepths: Along with Torrie Wilson, Sharmell Sullivan, and a number of other Faux Action Girls, a graduate (in June 2000, and one of the last) of WCW's notorious Power Plant, a pro-wrestling training facility [[TrainingFromHell so tough and grueling]] that it ''ended Wrestling/BretHart's career''. [[note]] To clarify, Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} had been a graduate of the Power Plant. In a match with Hart, he kicked the "Hitman" in the neck so hard that it resulted in an injury that (temporarily) forced Hart to retire. Hart later blamed the Power Plant for not teaching its students to pull their punches. [[/note]]

* MusclesAreMeaningless: She possessed surprising strength and stamina for a woman with a BMI (body-mass index) of only about 19 (borderline anorexic, even by non-wrestling standards) and once even bodyslammed Wrestling/{{Lita}} during a mixed tag-team match also featuring the Dudley Boyz and the Hardy Boyz.
** At one point, she could actually press over 400 pounds when she did a leg press.

* PowerStable: (in WCW): The New Blood

** NerdGlasses: During her stint with the Dudleyz, Stacy wore the bulky Dudley gimmick glasses with the lenses popped out and tape on the bridge. Typically on top of her head, rather than on her nose.
* RealityShow: Will be hosting Creator/{{Lifetime}}'s ''Supermarket Superstar''.
* ReallyGetsAround: Accused of sleeping around the WCW locker room by Mike Tenay in an interview in ''WCW Thunder'', who said he would have slept with her too if not for his marriage. Yeah, that's ''WCW Thunder'' for you.
* SexySecretary: As Ms. Hancock

* TookALevelInBadass: In late 2004, when she pinned Wrestling/MollyHolly in three separate matches (although she needed some help the third time), became Number One Contender to Wrestling/TrishStratus' Women's Championship, and then entered a seven-Diva Battle Royal at ''Taboo Tuesday'' and did better than anyone could have expected, making it more than two-thirds of the way through the match and being the longest-lasting face Diva left in the ring. Pretty impressive for someone who was consistently losing Bra and Panties matches just two years earlier.

* ReallyGetsAround: Accused of sleeping around the WCW lockeroom by Mike Tenay in an interview in ''WCW Thunder'', who said he would have slept with her too if not his marriage. Yeah, that's ''WCW Thunder'' for you.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: She possessed surprising strength and stamina for a woman with a BMI (body-mass index) of only about 19 (borderline anexoric, even by non-wrestling standards) and once even bodyslammed Wrestling/{{Lita}} during a mixed tag-team match also featuring the Dudley Boyz and the Hardy Boyz.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: She dated David Flair and [=Test=] both on-screen and off.

* BlondesAreEvil: As a heel, though HairOfGoldHeartOfGold inevitably came into play - and she spent most of her career as a face.

* ReallyGetsAround: Accused of sleeping around the WCW lockeroom by Mike Tenay, who said he would have slept with her too if not his marriage.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Brooke Adams popped up in TNA doing a SexySecretary gimmick known as Miss Tessmacher - an obvious {{Expy}} to Stacy's Miss Hancock gimmick.

* YouCanLeaveYourHatOn: Memorably performed a striptease for Randy Orton the night he hosted Raw - which was also the TV debut for Candice Michelle, Maria Kanellis and Melina Perez. Apparently her mother was also in the crowd.

* SmurfetteBreakout: First with Standard & Practices in WCW, then in WWE with almost every guy she managed.

** Alas, it was only temporary. WWE had wanted to give Stacy a reign as Women's Champion and were trying to build her up. She was originally booked to win the Taboo Tuesday battle royal, but on the day of the match, she told WWE officials she didn't deserve to be champion as she wasn't a wrestler, and they should leave the title on Trish Stratus. Shortly afterwards, Stacy was back losing Bra and Panties matches to newcomer (and 2004 Diva Search winner) Wrestling/ChristyHemme, reverting her back to her FauxActionGirl status.

* {{Homage}}: She did a photo shoot in 2003 dressed as the StatueOfLiberty.

* ActionGirl: Defied in 2002. WWE wanted to put the Women's title on her but she refused, stating she wasn't a wrestler and it wouldn't be fair to the other Divas (though that didn't stop her getting in the ring more frequently in 2004). Though this led to Stacy being forever typecast as the FauxActionGirl she didn't inevitably have to be, in the long run it was probably the wise decision to make, seeing how Maryse Ouellet [[TheScrappy got roasted]] for agreeing to be booked as the Divas' Champion.

* ReallyGetsAround: Accused of sleeping around the WCW lockeroom by Mike Tenay, who said he would have slept with her two if not married.

* BlondesAreEvil: As a heel

* CommutingOnABus: When she got the call to be on ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'', WWE pulled her off of Raw immediately (and out of a gimmick) and dropped her onto ''[=SmackDown!=]'' where she went back to {{Fanservice}} matches, had her last match ever on ''[[{{BShow}} WWE Velocity]]'', and then [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome disappeared]].

** During the [[Wrestling/RicoConstantino Rico]] (w[=/=][[Characters/WWEDivas Miss Jackie [=Gayda=]]]) vs. Rene Dupree (w/Rob Conway) match on the February 2, 2004 ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]'', Stacy flashed her butt to Dupree, though with her face to the camera, leading to Rico winning the match. This was a followup to Jackie having flashed Conway, with her back to the camera, the week before. WWE was teasing a ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' photo shoot featuring two Divas, as opposed to how the three previous ones (Wrestling/{{Sable}} in 1999, Wrestling/{{Chyna}} in 2000 and Torrie Wilson in 2003) had each featured only one. This led to the Sable[=/=]Torrie vs. Stacy[=/=]Jackie ''Playboy'' Evening Gown Match at ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} XX.''

* AmbiguouslyJewish: Suspected of this by some fans, due to her [[AllJewsAreAshkenazi Ashkenazi-sounding last name]] and [[FacialProfiling vaguely Semitic facial features]]...but as she was RaisedCatholic, it isn't very likely. Still, she ''does'' hail from Baltimore, a city famous for its ethnic and religious diversity and that (at least proportionately) is home to a Jewish population that rivals that of New York, so it's possible that Stacy has a mixed ethnoreligious heritage. If she does, it's definitely a case of MatzoFever.

* IHaveManyNames: Skye, Miss Hancock, the Dutchess of Dudleyville and Super Stacy.

** NerdGlasses: During her stint with the Dudleyz, Stacy wore bulky glasses with the lenses popped out and tape on the bridge. Typically on top of her head, rather than on her nose.

* {{Chickification}}: Maybe it wasn't to an extreme degree, but Stacy did go through her ups and downs (sadly, mostly downs) during her four-and-a-half years in WWE. When she came to WWE in the summer of 2001, she did so not as a NaiveNewcomer but as a full-blooded member of the Alliance, DarkActionGirl, and someone at least modestly dangerous in the ring. Over the next year, she slid into decay as a Diva used mostly for {{Fanservice}}, and the year after that decayed still more as her HeelFaceTurn turned her StupidGood and a prime target for all kinds of bullies, both male and female, both heel and [[WhatTheHellHero face(!)]]. She finally TookALevelInBadass in late 2004 and actually managed to win some matches and become Number One Contender to the Women's Championship. Then it was right back to Stupid Good ButtMonkey status for the rest of her career, especially when RandyOrton RKO'ed her in preparation for his ''[=WrestleMania=]'' match with TheUndertaker.

* HiddenDepths: Along with Torrie Wilson, Sharmell Sullivan, and a number of other Faux Action Girls, a graduate (in June 2000, and one of the last) of WCW's notorious Power Plant, a pro-wrestling training facility [[TrainingFromHell so tough and grueling]] that it ''ended BretHart's career''. [[note]] To clarify, {{Goldberg}} had been a graduate of the Power Plant. In a match with Hart, he kicked the "Hitman" in the neck so hard that it resulted in an injury that (temporarily) forced Hart to retire. Hart later blamed the Power Plant for not teaching its students to pull their punches. [[/note]]

* MusclesAreMeaningless: She possessed surprising strength and stamina for a woman with a BMI (body-mass index) of only about 19 (borderline anexoric, even by non-wrestling standards) and once even bodyslammed {{Lita}} during a mixed tag-team match also featuring the Dudley Boyz and the Hardy Boyz.

* TookALevelInBadass: In late 2004, when she pinned MollyHolly in three separate matches (although she needed some help the third time), became Number One Contender to TrishStratus' Women's Championship, and then entered a seven-Diva Battle Royal at ''Taboo Tuesday'' and did better than anyone could have expected, making it more than two-thirds of the way through the match and being the longest-lasting face Diva left in the ring. Pretty impressive for someone who was consistently losing Bra and Panties matches just two years earlier.

** She also kicked WWE ring announcer Howard Finkel in the crotch during a Tuxedo vs. Evening Gown Match in 2002, after which she and TrishStratus and Lilian Garcia [[ShamefulStrip stripped him down to red bikini underwear]].
