Stacy Keibler (born October 14, 1979) is an American actress, model, and former professional wrestler and valet, best known for her work with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Stacy Keibler began her professional wrestling career as a part of the Nitro Girls in WCW. Stacy Keibler quickly moved on to a more prominent role in the company as the manager, Miss Hancock. As Miss Hancock Stacy Keibler was known for doing table dances, her relationship with David Flair, and a pregnancy angle. After WCW was purchased by WWE, Stacy Keibler moved to the new company, taking part in the Invasion storyline and managing the Dudley Boyz. Keibler also managed Test and Scott Steiner. Before her departure Stacy Keibler was affiliated with The Hurricane and Rosey and nicknamed "Super Stacy."

Stacy Keibler is known for her unusually long legs, making her the tallest WWE Diva. Stacy Keibler has been known as both "The Legs of WCW" and "The Legs of WWE". During her time on Dancing with the Stars, judge Bruno Tonioli nicknamed her "The Weapon of Mass Seduction" because of her long legs.

Stacy Ann-Marie Keibler was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 14, 1979. Beginning at the age of three, Keibler took ballet, jazz, and tap dancing classes at Jean Kettell Studio of Dance in Dundalk, Maryland.

After attending The Catholic High School of Baltimore, an all-girl school on the eastside of Baltimore, Stacy Keibler attended Towson University, where Stacy Keibler studied mass communication. Stacy Keibler attended the university on a partial scholarship and had a 3.7 grade point average (GPA). Stacy Keibler had minor parts in movies such as Pecker and Liberty Heights, as well as small modeling jobs. During this time Keibler became a cheerleader for the Baltimore Ravens football team when Stacy Keibler was 18.

Stacy Keibler starred in a commercial for AT&T alongside Carrot Top. Stacy Keibler also auditioned and earned a role in Big Momma's House 2, but Stacy Keibler did not appear.

Stacy Keibler competed in the second season of Dancing with the Stars, alongside her dance partner, Tony Dovolani. Keibler received a perfect score of 30 from the three judges for her samba dance routine in week five. This prompted judge Bruno Tonioli to nickname her a "weapon of mass seduction." Overall, Keibler and Dovolani received four perfect scores. Keibler was eliminated in the final episode, coming in third to Jerry Rice, who placed second in the final round of the competition, and Drew Lachey, the winner of the season. Two of the judges, Bruno Tonioli and Len Goodman, felt Stacy Keibler should have at least placed second. Oddsmakers had considered her the favorite to win the competition.

Stacy Keibler has appeared on MTV's Punk'd twice. In season five Keibler took part in helping prank fellow WWE Superstar, Triple H, which also included Stephanie McMahon. In season seven, however, Keibler was seen as a victim of a prank by her then boyfriend, Geoff Stults.

In February 2007 Keibler began a recurring role in ABC's What About Brian. Stacy Keibler played the role of Brian's new neighbor and love interest. This was Keibler's first major acting role, following her previous minor roles in both Bubble Boy and Pecker. Keibler guest starred on The George Lopez Show on ABC. In the fall of 2007 Keibler appeared in both The Comebacks and on ABC's drama October Road.

Stacy Keibler began watching wrestling with her boyfriend at the time, Kris Cumberland. Stacy Keibler can be seen in the crowd at Starrcade 1998 before the television title match, dancing in a nWo Wolfpac t-shirt. In late 1999, Keibler entered a contest held by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) to find a new member of the Nitro Girls dance troupe. In November, Stacy Keibler defeated 300 other girls for a spot on the dance troupe and $10,000. Her winning routine was watched by 4.4 million viewers. Keibler performed dance routines every week on WCW's flagship show Monday Nitro under the name Skye. By 2000, Keibler was appearing on WCW as a Nitro Girl, attending school full-time, and cheering for the Baltimore Ravens.

Stacy Keibler soon accepted a larger role and became a valet using the stage name Miss Hancock (some weeks spelled "Handcock"), briefly serving as an associate for the tag team of Lenny Lane and Lodi dubbed Standards and Practices. Despite wearing business suits, her character was known to climb on top of the announcers' table and dance sensually. It was also during this period that Stacy Keibler began using what would become her trademark ring entrance: slowly putting her forty-two inch legs through the second tier of ropes, pausing to let the crowd momentarily see her panties. At 5 feet 11 inches, Keibler was one of few women in professional wrestling tall enough to step over the middle of three ropes that surround the ring.

For a brief period, Stacy Keibler dated David Flair (both on-screen and off), who was already involved in an on-screen relationship with Daffney. This led to Keibler's in-ring debut at the Bash at the Beach in a Wedding Gown match, which Stacy Keibler lost after Stacy Keibler removed her own gown. Hancock next briefly feuded with Kimberly Page, but the storyline ended abruptly when Page quit the company. Keibler and Flair then began a feud with the Misfits In Action stable, including a mud wrestling singles match against Major Gunns at New Blood Rising. During the match, Stacy Keibler was kicked in the stomach, and Stacy Keibler revealed herself to be pregnant the next night, beginning a new angle for herself and Flair. Two proposed endings to the storyline were for either Ric Flair or Vince Russo to be the father of her child. The angle, however, ended prematurely, as she revealed the pregnancy to be false, broke up with David Flair, and was taken off of television. When Stacy Keibler returned, Stacy Keibler was known by her real name on-screen.

When WCW was purchased by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 2001, Keibler's contract was retained by the WWF. Stacy Keibler portrayed a heel character in The Alliance. Stacy Keibler made her WWF television debut on the June 14, 2001 episode of SmackDown! when then-heel, Shane McMahon brought her to the ring to distract then-babyface, Rhyno, causing him to lose a match. Keibler originally teamed up with real-life friend, then-heel, Torrie Wilson, and the pair feuded with Divas, Trish Stratus and Lita. During this feud the four Divas competed in the first-ever tag team Bra and Panties match at the InVasion pay-per-view, which Trish and Lita won by stripping their opponents.

Towards the end of the WCW/ECW Invasion, Stacy Keibler managed the heel gimmicks of The Dudley Boyz and was nicknamed the "Duchess of Dudleyville". During this time, Stacy Keibler began an on-screen rivalry with former ally Torrie Wilson after Wilson left The Alliance, with Keibler helping The Dudley Boyz put Wilson through a table. Wilson, however, got her revenge after pulling her skirt down on an episode of SmackDown!. Stacy Keibler then defeated Keibler in the first-ever lingerie match, a match wrestled in lingerie, at No Mercy. Keibler made her WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania X8 alongside The Dudleyz. Keibler's role with the Dudley Boyz came to an abrupt end when she was powerbombed through a table after accidentally costing the team a match. Stacy Keibler then set her sights on the WWE Women's Championship at Judgment Day, facing Trish Stratus in a losing effort. Stacy Keibler faced Stratus several more times in the proceeding weeks, but Stacy Keibler never won a match against her.

Stacy Keibler took over the 2004 Raw Diva Search for a few weeks, which led to several tag matches against the heel gimmicks of Gail Kim, Trish Stratus, and Molly Holly and with partners Nidia and the face gimmick of Victoria. Keibler got upset victories over Kim, Stratus, and Holly. Stacy Keibler earned a Women's Championship title match on October 11, 2004, but she was defeated by Stratus, who retained the title. Keibler also competed in the first-ever Fulfill your Fantasy Diva Battle Royal for the WWE Women's Championship at Taboo Tuesday along with Victoria, Nidia, Gail Kim, Molly Holly, Jazz, and then-champion Stratus. Stacy Keibler was eliminated second to last after jumping over the top rope to avoid hitting the turnbuckle, followed by Holly knocking her off the apron to eliminate her.

Stacy Keibler began appearing in backstage segments with then-babyface, Randy Orton. When Orton challenged The Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania 21, Orton ended the relationship and the storyline by performing an RKO on her. He justified it by claiming Stacy Keibler was demonstrating how ruthless he could be in order to defeat The Undertaker.

Stacy Keibler then joined forces with Rosey and The Hurricane. Stacy Keibler became one-third of the trio as a superhero sidekick nicknamed Super Stacy, complete with her own superhero costume. Stacy Keibler was ringside during several matches as they defended their World Tag Team Championship. During this time, Keibler feuded on-screen with then-heel, Victoria, including confrontations on Raw and a match on Heat.

After leaving WWE in July 2006, Stacy Keibler made a special guest appearance for WWE's Reality Show, WWE Tough Enough. Being a former NFL Cheerleader, she helped prepare the contestants to perform publicly in Universal Studios.

In 2000 after winning the $10,000 in the contest to become a part of the Nitro Girls, Keibler used the money to buy season tickets for the Baltimore Ravens, the team for which she used to cheer. During her days with WCW, Keibler was romantically linked with David Flair, the son of wrestler Ric Flair. While in the WWE she also dated wrestler Andrew "Test" Martin both on and off screen.

Keibler moved to Los Angeles in 2004, where she was a roommate with her friend, Torrie Wilson. In June 2005 Keibler was reported to be in a relationship with actor, Geoff Stults, best known for his appearances on 7th Heaven. The pair appeared together on MTV's Punk'd, with Keibler as the recipient of the prank. Keibler and Stults were part-owners of the now defunct Hollywood Fame, a 2006 expansion franchise of the new American Basketball Association. Stults and Keibler split in the middle of 2010. Keibler has been dating George Clooney since the summer of 2011.
