Stacy Keibler WWE Divas Career
When WCW
was purchased by the WWF in 2001, her contract was one of 24 that were
retained by the WWF.
Stacy Keibler
portrayed a heel character in The Alliance. Her first appearance for the
WWF was on SmackDown! when Shane McMahon brought her to the ring to
distract Rhyno, causing him to lose a match. She was still a heel after
the Alliance broke up. Stacy originally teamed up with real-life friend
Torrie Wilson and the pair feuded with WWF divas Trish Stratus and Lita.
They lost to Trish and Lita in the first ever tag team bra and panties
match at Invasion.
During the WCW/ECW Invasion, she managed The Dudley Boyz, during which
time she was nicknamed the "Duchess of Dudleyville" by announcer Paul
Heyman. She feuded with Torrie Wilson after Wilson left The Alliance.
Keibler faced Wilson in the first-ever lingerie match at WWE No Mercy.
Wilson won the contest.
Stacy was originally drafted to the SmackDown! brand in 2002, where she
participated in a comedy segment involving Vince McMahon hiring a
personal assistant. McMahon was ready to hire another attractive female
until Stacy interrupted and demonstrated why she should get the job by
giving him a table dance. Stacy became Vince's assistant as well as his
onscreen mistress until Stephanie McMahon became general manager of the
SmackDown! brand. Dawn Marie made her debut on SmackDown! as Vince's
legal assistant who competed with Stacy for McMahon's affections.
A key storyline for Keibler's on-screen character was when she left
SmackDown! for RAW with a contract for a title match between Benoit and
RVD at the pay-per-view. During her time on RAW Stacy managed Scott
Steiner and Test, the latter of which was her real-life boyfriend at the
time. She was also involved in eventual feud between those two. As
Test's on-screen marketing agent, she invented the idea that Test should
call his fans "Testicles," cut his hair and reshape his image. However,
in a storyline, Test became jealous of Stacy wanting to also be
Steiner's manager. During a match on RAW, Test turned heel and started
to verbally abuse Stacy. Steiner managed to defeat Test for Stacy's
services, and Stacy seemed happy as Steiner'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 Stacy, to win back the services of Stacy. Test faked a leg injury to
pick up the win.
A match was set for WWE Unforgiven, the stipulation being 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 Steiner instead. Steiner later turned heel by attacking Stacy when
she botched another interference next RAW. Finally, General Manager Mick
Foley put a stop to the abusive Test and Steiner and freed Stacy from
her obligatory contracts with the pair.
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 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 then WWE Diva, Gail Kim, then heel, Trish Stratus and
Molly Holly. Her partners were then WWE star, Nidia and then babyface,
Victoria. Stacy showed off much improved wrestling skills, managing to
get upset wins against Molly, Gail, and Trish. She even got herself a
Women's Championship 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 a result of this, Stacy appeared on
RAW following her victory and told everyone that she would bend over
backwards to make the fans happy.
Stacy soon began an angle with popular superstar Randy Orton. After
kissing him on the cheek during a backstage segment on RAW, there 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 he was
demonstrating just how ruthless he could be in order to defeat the
Undertaker. In the end, Stacy's involvement with Orton was a device for
his inevitable heel turn. Orton was the third on screen boyfriend to
betray Stacy. The two others were Test and Scott Steiner.
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.
Keibler appeared on the hit show Dancing with the Stars (see Outside of
wrestling), placing third. Recaps were aired weekly on RAW, which was
believed to be because of a conflict with SmackDown! and UPN not wanting
to promote a rival network. After a few weeks, her profile was moved
over from SmackDown! to RAW.
In April 2006, Vegas Magazine reported that Stacy Keibler was done with
WWE and moving on to other endeavors. Keibler posted a message on her
official website saying that her WWE contract expired on July 21, 2006,
and she went on to sign a contract with Disney's Touchstone Studios. Her
profile has since been removed from the RAW roster on the WWE official
website.

Stacy Keibler's 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 he recovered
from neck surgery, but maintained a friendship.
Stacy has refused three generous offers to pose for Playboy
believing that it would be better if she would "leave
something for the imagination." However, she is very vocal
about her sex life as seen in her interview with STUFF
Magazine, and that she had sex 4 times in her life, as of
2006.
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 pair also appeared together on
MTV's Punk'd, with Keibler as the recipient of the prank.
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. 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!.
On a February 2006 edition of Extra, Keibler revealed that
she does have a boyfriend, and that it was indeed Geoff
Stults on Los Angeles Times' My Favorite Weekend.
It was announced that on May 16, 2006, Keibler suffered a
seizure at the ABC Upfront Presentation in New York City,
and was hospitalized. The seizure was said to be minor and
Keibler was released from the hospital shortly after. Four
days later, Keibler appeared on the ESPN pre-race telecast
of the Preakness Stakes, in an interview with Kenny Mayne. |
