Stacy Keibler was born on October 14, 1979 in Baltimore,
Maryland. At young age, she pursued being an entertainer, so
is was only natural that she studied Mass Communications at
Towson University. One of her early breaks as a performer came
as a cheerleader for the Baltimore Ravens football team. Her
transition into wrestling came in the Fall of 1999 as a dancer
where she participated in the WCW "Nitro Girls
Search". Soon after, she began to dance on World Championship
Wrestling (WCW) shows as "Skye".
After a few week of dancing as a Nitro Girl, the Nitro
girls feuded among themselves and Stacy transitioned into a
managerial role. She became known as Miss Hancock and
worked that gimmick throughout 2000. She began training to wrestling
at WCW's Power Plant, being trained by Debra "Madusa" Miceli
and Nora "Molly Holly" Greenwald. She became more physical and
more involved in storylines. She made her in-ring debut on July
9, 2000 at Bash at the Beach and was defeated by Daffney
(Shannon Spruill) in a "Wedding Gown" match.
Later in 2000, she began an angle where she was dating David
Flair and worked a pregnancy storyline. The pregnancy was later
dropped.
Just before WCW folded she managed Shawn Stasiak and survived
major WCW talent cuts. WCW was then bought by the WWE.
Stacy Keibler signed with the WWF and made her debut
in June of 2001, she was featured on Smackdown with Shane McMahon
as part of the WCW Invasion into the WWE. She began a short
lived feud with Torrie against Lita and Trish
Stratus in which they were defeated in a Bra and Panties
match at the WWF Invasion PPV on July 22. After the defeat,
Ivory took Stacy Keibler and
Torrie Wilson under her wings, but they would part ways shortly
after. After the initial Invasion storyline, she got involved
with many altercations with other WWE women, however, the most
notable rival would end up being Torrie Wilson.
In October of 2002, Stacy began a storyline
with Test (Andrew Martin), in which she would call his fans
"Testicles," which continued for the majority of 2003. The storyline
led to Test becoming abusive to Stacy, and
they would eventually part ways.
In early 2004, Stacy Keibler joined forces
with Jackie Gayda, campaigning against Sable & Torrie
Wilson, saying that they should have been in Playboy.
This led to March 14th, 2004, Wrestlemania XX where Torrie
Wilson & Sable defeated Miss
Jackie & Stacy Keibler in a "Playboy
Evening Gown" match. Soon after the match, Stacy Keibler & Jackie
Gayda turned on each other and Stacy continued the year making
appearances and being a filler in Women's matches.
In 2005, Stacy started the year on a high after
being named the "2004 WWE Babe of the Year" based on WWE.com
polls. Her first memorable moment of that year was receiving
an RKO from Randy Orton, laying her out in the middle of the
ring. Upon her television recovery, she continued to make "WWE
Diva" appearances and associated herself with The Hurricane
& Rosey in which she played a superhero role. In August, Stacy
was moved from Raw to Smackdown and continued to make WWE Diva
appearances.

2 and 3, and February 2nd, 2006 (Week 5), Stacy Keibler
and her partner, scored a perfect score of 30, for the show.

in the competition. Her WWE contract later expired on July 21.
Weeks earlier, negotiations between the WWE and Stacy fell through, with her asking for more money, and first class airfare.

the WWE. Appearances included episode of "What About Brian",
episode of "George Lopez", The Comebacks, "October Road", and
"Samurai
