Stacy Keibler
Biography
A Maryland
native and one-time Baltimore Ravens cheerleader, Stacy Keibler
has become one of the hottest commodities in World Wrestling Entertainment
(WWE). Prior to her not-so-humble beginnings in the world of sports
entertainment, Keibler grew up with interests in ballet and tap
dancing. As she matured, the beautiful, nearly six-foot blonde became
interested in acting and modeling. While attending Towson University
in her hometown of Baltimore, she landed the job with the Ravens
and gained exposure that ultimately led to small parts in the films
Pecker, Bubble Boy, and Liberty Heights.
It was
in 1999 that Keibler entered a contest to become the next World
Championship Wrestling (WCW) "Nitro Girl." With her trademark
long legs (41"!) and statuesque physique, Keibler won the contest,
hands down. At this point she became known as "Skye,"
and later the league changed her persona to "Miss Hancock,"
a pseudonym purposely conceived with heavy sexual innuendo. The
character "Miss Hancock" was created to fill the role
of a "Secretary of Standards and Practices," and Keibler
could often be seen at wrestling matches "taking notes."
When
Vince McMahon, owner of WWE, bought out the struggling WCW it looked
like the end of the ropes for Keibler. But McMahon assigned his
son Shane the duties of "running the league," and Keibler
stuck around, making her first appearance with the younger McMahon
shortly after the two leagues merged. Everything snowballed from
there and the one-time physical therapist found herself gaining
popularity with fans.
Known
for her long blonde hair, beautiful smile and flawless legs, Keibler
is now one of the WWE's caste of women wrestlers. Better known as
"Divas," the group includes the likes of knockouts Torrie
Wilson, Trish Stratus, and recent "Diva Search" winner
Cristy Hemme. She is also a natural beauty, having not altered her
body in any ways through plastic surgery, even though breast enhancement
is commonplace with many of the women in her industry.
Keibler
is one of a group of women who adds a sexual flair to an industry
once dominated by male wrestlers. Her job isn't just accompanying
the typical male wrestler to the ring as a showpiece. Her role includes
getting into the ring and battling it out with other Divas, most
bouts are titillating matches that bare lots of skin. But there
are also lots of perks to the job, like traveling to exotic locales
on photo shoots for WWE publications.
In an
industry that often portrays women as objects, Keibler loves what
she does. She has been linked to David Flair, son of WWE wrestler
Ric Flair, and to wrestler Test (Andrew Marin). Recently, she was
voted "Babe of the Year" by fans of the WWE.
