Keep goingkeep goingkeep goingthe legs of Stacy Keiblerjust where do they stop? Take a Hollywood attitude, legs for miles, a perfect body and an oh so pretty face. Put them together and you have another WW(F)E Diva, striding for the top. For when the old WWF took control of their arch-rivals, they immediately signed just one woman. Guess who?
Having made her name as Miss Hancock in WCW, Stacy consistently wowed crowds with her strut around ringside as she went from Nitro girl to valet in one quick swoop. If she made an impact there, it was nothing like her debut in the other promotion, in her home town of Baltimore, Maryland.
Test and Rhyno did battle for the WWF Hardcore Championship, when Test delivered an elbow through a table that left both men down and out. Cue the WCW Invasion, and out strutted the company's owner Shane McMahon. However Shane was not alone. He glanced back, and their undoing her hair were the legs of Stacy Keibler.oh yeah, and with the rest of her on top!
With the crowd going wild she climbed onto the apron and wiggled her behind in Rhyno's direction. The next thing the crowd knew, Test was the new Hardcore Champion.
She appeared again on the crowning night of the new WCW regime, with a championship match on Raw, in which she took over ring announcing duties.
Indeed with the first inter-promotional PPV on the cards, Stacy was thrust into the penultimate match of the night. For weeks, she and fellow WCW diva Torrie Wilson had given the come-on to The Hardy Boys.the distinct property of a certain Miss Lita, and another Miss Stratus. The two teams clashed in the first-ever tag team bra and panties match at Invasion. It didn't end so well for Stacy as she was stripped down to her undergarments.but hey, it worked out for the rest of us!
Following the loss however the WCW divas upped their game, particularly due to the presence of a new member - Ivory. She has taken it upon herself to train Stacy and Torrie, and the two were instrumental in Lita sustaining a knee injury ahead of Summerslam 2001.
Since the big event of the summer Stacy found herself drawn into a partnership with the oddball of the alliance, Shawn Stasiak. The two met up backstage and plotted to douse Kurt Angle in milk.inadvertently nailing Debra instead! With Stacy and Shawn as a full-time partnership, could this partnership can possibly work out for the Alliance?
In truth we never found out. Shawn was injured and Stacy needed to look for a new man. Her need was enhanced as fellow Alliance member Torrie Wilson fell into the arms of the WWF's Tajiri. Stacy appeared jealous of the Torrie/Tajiri union, and attempted to find man after man to challenge the duo. First it was Tazz, who picked up the odd win, but ultimately it was Tajiri who triumphed. Then however she played her trump card, in the form of The Dudley Boys. Stacy, now dubbed the 'Duchess of Dudleyville' masterminded a plot that saw Torrie hammered through a table by The Dudley's, as Tajiri was choked out by Tazz. Their feud had to be settled, and how better than in Lingerie?
The two ladies clashed in a Bikini contest on Smackdown, and it was losing that contest that seemed to provoke Stacy all the more. At No Mercy both women were hot - Torrie red hot, and Stacy beautiful in black. To the fan's surprise they entertained with an incredible match. It was Torrie though who came out on top as she pinned Stacy by sitting on her face and slapping her backside! Not a bad way to lose!
However her partnership with The Dudley Boys has proven more successful. Though they dropped the tag titles to Rock and Jericho on Raw, they followed that up by claiming the WCW gold from The Hardy Boys on Smackdown. With Matt Hardy seemingly taken by Stacy Keibler, a feud with the WWF's number one diva seemed on the horizon for the Duchess of Dudleyville.
In fact it never really amounted to that. Matt and Lita had their own problems, and Stacy merely added to them by distracting Matt at ringside. She led The Dudley Boys to Survivor Series and an undisputed tag team championship match with The Hardy Boys. On that night, Stacy again used her womanly ways to her advantage as she distracted referee Nick Patrick, coaxed the cage key from his pocket, and passed a table into The Dudley Boys. That proved decisive as Jeff's missed swanton through a table led to The Dudley Boys unifying the tag team gold.
Stacy though wanted gold of her own, and challenged Trish Stratus to a Women's Championship match on Thanksgiving - in a gravy bowl! It was a gruesome and gorgeous match! However it did not end well for Stacy who was forced to tap out in the gravy! Worse followed on Raw as Trish spanked her way to a Bra and Panties title defence. So Stacy had The Dudley's do her bidding for her - and they put Trish through a 3-D in a successful title defence against her and The Rock.
The leggy Keibler was roughing feathers with all men. Even The Big Show could not resist her advances as he and Kane emerged as the new number one contenders for Vengeance. At the PPV, he grabbed Stacy, licked his hand, and spanked her hard! However Stacy's distraction led to another Dudley success - again, the last laugh was hers!
Troubles continued with Torrie Wilson however as Stacy again made her presence felt costing Tajiri and Spike Dudley a tag team title shot. She and Torrie rolled around on Heat, and then repeated the favour in Egg Nog on Raw! Stacy lost the match but for all her male admirers, it was a Merry Christmas all around!
2002 did not start so well though, as The Dudley Boys dropped their tag team titles on Raw. They lost out to Spike and Tazz, and Stacy was inadvertently to blame. She wiggled her backside at Spike causing a distraction. However she also affected Bubba Ray, who was quickly dispatched, forcing the team to drop their gold. Indeed they lost a rematch at the Royal Rumble, and struggled to get back on television.
Stacy soon renewed her rivalry with Torrie Wilson. Billy & Chuck who believed they could produce a hotter calendar challenged the two. They had a pose off on Smackdown, and Torrie and Stacy brought the show on fire. They won the competition easily, but when Jerry Lawler raised only Torrie's hand in victory trouble mounted once more. Stacy was jealous and nailed Torrie from behind with a clothesline. The two then battled making a King sandwich. On the following week's Raw they clashed in a Bikini Match. It was another entertaining affair, but ended badly for Miss Wilson, as Stacy scored the victory with a roll-up.
Her issues with Torrie settled for now, Stacy soon moved on again - to Lita. The Dudley Boys were eliminated in the Tag Team Turmoil match at No Way Out, thanks to the red-head. A couple of weeks later on Raw, the teams renewed their rivalry, setting up a Stacy/Lita showdown on the biggest stage of all. However their rivalry was limited to a match on Raw, where Lita duly dispatched of her less-experienced adversary.
Stacy still made an impact at WrestleMania however. She wowed the crowd as The Dudley Boys made their entrance to their new theme played by Saliva. However Stacy wasn't content to just leave it at that, and instead threw herself into the match as only she can. It was a Triple Threat for the WWF Tag Team Championship, between Billy & Chuck, the champions, The Hardy Boys and The Dudley Boys. Stacy decided to climb the apron and show her 'buns' to the world. It was a titillating sight, but sadly for Stacy one that also caught the eyes of her own man, Bubba Ray Dudley. With Bubba's eyes where they shouldn't have been, The Dudley Boys were quickly eliminated from the night's proceedings.
Indeed it was another in a serious of cock-ups for the Duchess of Dudleyville, who attempted to put things right as part of the Dudley Boys title shot the next night on Raw. However again her antics proved costly, and the Dudley's had, had enough. They decided to put things right as only they can - by slamming the unfortunate Miss Keibler through the nearest table. The Duchess of Dudleyville, was no more.
However it wasn't long before Stacy returned from injury, and decided to aim for bigger and even better sights. She was no longer content with being the average valet and instead chose to focus her attention on the Chairman himself, Vince McMahon. Shortly after the brand extension and name change to WWE, Vince was happily running the Smackdown brand, when Stacy suggested that he might need a little assistance. Mr. McMahon was more than eager to hear what she had to say, and see what she had to offer. However he was going to make Stacy work for what she wanted so badly. And so he set up a series of interviews for the role of Personal Assistant.
Two ladies and a man, tried and failed to wow Mr. McMahon. Then along came Stacy, pushing her adversary aside and climbing the table, Miss Hancock style. She strutted her stuff like only she can, performing a breathtaking table-top dance for Vinnie Mac. So good was the show, that he found himself falling out of his chair. In the end, he had no other option but to hand Stacy the role she had worked (him) so hard for!
For Stacy, her initial role on Smackdown was somewhat inconsequential. She was seen deviating with Mr. McMahon backstage, taking messages and occasionally ruffling feathers with her old adversary Torrie Wilson in the squared circle. However Stacy was also more than capable of getting superstars in trouble with her womanly ways.
One of her first victims was the newly debuting Randy Orton. Upon seeing the rookie, Stacy had him take his top off and generally threw herself at the youngster. When Vince caught the two in action he decided to punish Orton with a string of matches against Hardcore Holly as Stacy claimed the rookie had hit on her. Anyone who saw her pre-match 'kiss for good luck' however, knows very different.
In terms of a straight adversary though, Stacy remained quiet until one week she was absent from programming. Along came WWE paralegal Dawn Marie, delivering papers to Mr. McMahon and instantly grabbing his attention. Stacy was furious the following week. It turned out that she had ordered Dawn to pass the papers on exclusively to her, fearing the wandering eye of Vinnie Mac, may threaten her position. And so the scene was set as the two argued and clashed backstage, both desperately trying to one-up one another. It seemed certain that their feud would end in a pay-per-view clash, or at least it did until another diva arrived on the Smackdown scene.
Enter General Manager Stephanie, who instantly lambasted Stacy for her inept displays backstage. Nevertheless when she took the reigns of Smackdown she maintained Stacy's position as Personal Assistant. However Stacy is the sort of diva who never forgets. And she set to put right her public humiliation at the hands of Miss McMahon. In doing so, she scored a double whammy, outwitting both Stephanie and Dawn Marie. She tricked Dawn by claiming that Mr. McMahon was waiting in the hotel suite for her, so she could grab vital papers that determined the right of Rob Van Dam (a Raw superstar) to an Intercontinental Championship rematch against Chris Benoit (a newly defected Smackdown superstar). Instead of passing the papers to Stephanie, Stacy claimed them for Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff. Once bitten, twice shy Stacy had defected to Raw, humiliating both Stephanie and Dawn Marie in the process.
When pushed to Raw, Stacy's role became somewhat indefinite, making more cameo appearances than having a standard role. However she was used frequently in Women's Championship matches, challenging Trish Stratus to a Mud Match, that infamously saw Stacy throw her adversary from the top of the stage to the mud. However Stacy's real niche always lay in being a valet and using her brains rather than her brawn. It took several months before she was back with a permanent role, but then she found it, in a bizarre marketing relationship with her rumoured real-life boyfriend, Test.
She began by accompanying Test to ringside and assisting him to a victory over D-LO Brown. However the following week, her true intentions for Test were revealed. She decided to set him on a marketing role, making him her own personal project. She changed his ring attire, and then introduced him to the wackiest idea of them all. Miss Keibler claimed that Hulk Hogan had his 'Hulkamaniacs', Kane had his 'Kaneanites' and now Test would have his 'Testicles'!
She forced the young Canadian to say 'hi' to all his testicles ahead of a match with Goldust. However Stacy's interference again proved crucial as she delivered a low blow to Goldust allowing Test to hit the big boot and grab the victory. The following week her marketing continued as she had Test cut his hair ahead of a match with The Hurricane. Test though was on a role and claimed victory again, even though Stacy forced him to comment that he 'loves his Testicles' after the match!
Recently Stacy is seen on the arm of Test by force when Scott Steiner lost her to Test in a match.
However you look at it, it seems there's no getting past that one issue where Stacy Keibler is concerned. Those legs! Oh and to make a brief analogy, it appears that just like those legs, Stacy has a long, long, long and prosperous future in Sport's Entertainment.
Congratulations Stacy for being Hardy Central's female superstar of the month
