Stacy Keibler

[0.0] "Just eye candy and nothing more. Seeing this frail, gangly girl have competitive matches with people like Molly Holly and Victoria let alone BEATING them summed up how WWE always viewed women's wrestling.. a complete joke! Unlike many other models hired by wrestling promotions at the time based on their looks, she never tried to learn how to wrestle or even improve her physical strength to look anything like an athlete. Even as a valet she couldn't act or cut promos to save her life! Unfortunately, many young fans might think she's a pioneer as she had been inducted into WWE's joke of a hall of fame along with fellow "legends" Torrie Wilson and the Bella Twins!"

[5.0] "I'm giving Stacy a 5, and with that, I want to make it clear I still think she deserves to be in the HoF. Her humility in turning down a title run, winning the WCW Nitro Girl Search thingy, going on Dancing with the Stars, her handful of big matches (regardless of quality), getting big moments with the Dudleys, Austin, Sable, Big Show, Vince, etc. She has a Hall of Fame Worthy Career, no doubt. But I will say, she's pretty bad in the ring. Below average in a lot of ways, not nearly measuring up to other women in her ilk like Terri, Sable, Torrie, Christy, or (late career) Jackie Gayda, Stacy had one of the best wrestling kicks of all time, and essentially zero other moves. Her *acting* was good, her expressions always matched the pain of the bumps, and on rare occasion, her actual body selling could be good too (I.e., her first Widow's Peak from Victoria). As a promo she was decent, and as a valet, she had something to bring to the table. She was underratedly funny, and that deserves credit. All of that to say is I think Stacy is the midpoint of the WWE Diva era, definitely had some of the skills, just no the in ring ones. (But again, very glad she's in the HoF, she deserves that fully)."

[0.0] "She did what was asked of her in WCW and WWE. Shake her ass and have her clothes ripped off while sad nerds and even sadder grown wrestlers drooled because they evidently never saw a pretty woman before. She couldn't wrestle, couldn't cut a promo, and contributed next to nothing in the business. It isn't her fault. The WWE hall of fame has been a joke for a long time but seeing her in there just further cheapens it. She seems like a sweetheart of a person in real life and I honestly feel bad but in wrestling she was inconsequential to everything. Her entire wrestling personality was "look how long my legs are". Hooray I guess but there's a little more to the business than that. She had nothing needed to be successful in the wrestling business by any metric."

[4.0] "I can't believe or imagine rating Stacy higher than Torrie Wilson, Kelly, Sable, and Michelle Mccool...all those women were beautiful and popular like Stacy, but they could actually pull off a decent entertaining match and were athletic and fit, while Stacy had 2 wrestling moves and could barely perform."

[5.0] "If Stacy Keibler were just a manager, I'd consider either a 6 or 7 for my overall rating. She did good in her role as a valet, though it was odd having her be a heel and managing heels during an era where women got cheered based on if the audience found them hot. The only reason she's a 5 is because she was a mediocre at best in ring wrestler. She was very sloppy, botched a lot, was awkward to watch and clearly wasn't cut out to be a wrestler."

[6.0] "(Edited) Stacy is a good looking girl, but I wish she spent more time training to become more technical in the ring, instead of being thrown into bra and panties matches like every other diva in the 2000s. I mean she had the background of cheerleading and dancing, so I think she could've pulled it off being a technical wrestler like Asuka. I never seen her promo work, so I can't tell you if it is good or bad. She was okay as a valet. Wish she stayed in the WWE longer than retiring after six years in the business. I thought Stacy's chemistry with Randy Orton was decent, and if Vince gave them time too evolve and feud with guys like Rey Mysterio, John Cena, or RVD, they could've been an iconic couple like Randy Savage & Elizabeth, or Edge & Lita. But hey who knows what could've happen."

"Stacy Keibler didn't have matches too often, and when she did she was fairly basic in the ring. She was best used as a manager/valet which she was decent at. She started off this way as a heel and her character was kind of an attractive mean girl bitchy type. She used her obvious sex appeal as a distraction, but would also do things like give foreign objects to the heels she was managing and physically get involved by delivering low blows, chokes, eye rakes etc. Later when she was paired with the Dudley Boyz in WWE her character was more sadistic, as she enjoyed seeing the Dudleys destroy babyfaces by putting them through tables and even had them do it to her rival Torrie Wilson too. So she was a decent heel manager, and that part of her career seems to get overlooked. Later on when she turned face, initially with Test, she was more of a damsel in distress type of character; a beautiful woman who could be easily used for the heels to show how heelish they could be. She took a fair few bumps from men and had moves like the stunner and RKO delivered to her, and she usually sold them well. Her strength was her role as a manager and general sex appeal with the long legs etc, and she was good at that. Not every woman has to be a wrestler, and I wish there were more women managers around today in the 2020s that could just be that without having to be seen as a good wrestler too."

[8.0] "Stacy Keibler was mostly a valet and she always stood out from the rest of the divas because her body and hair were natural and she had the girl-next-door vibe. But she could be very versatile going from Miss Hancock to Seductress to Duchess of Dudleyville, then playing the Liz to Tests Savage, and then one of her last roles was as Super Stacy managing The Hurricane. She was always fun to see on the screen, and she also by say 2003 had become quite the seller- she took some gnarly chair shots and of course when her boyfriend for a short time needed to turn heel again, it was Stacy they called to take a RKO to get the crowd back against him. She also was entertaining in the ring and made up for any lack of technical ability by relying on her freakishly long legs (something her opponent and the commentators too would play up). I think Stacy can get a bad wrap because she was part of the divas era but Stacy Keibler took any role she was given and was excellent and thats why she did so well on Dancing With The Stars even though only wrestling fans probably knew who she was."

[0.0] "I don't see anything about her that's worth complimenting. Her in-ring work was painfully botchy, her record in wrestling was pretty weak, and her only specialty match was the Bra & Panties Match and she even lost most of those. I also can't believe WWE put her in the HOF for doing nothing. Granted, it was her time during the Diva dead-beat time in WWE when women were objects and nothing more, but in WCW, she wasn't any better and thought she could transition from dancing to wrestling. Like I always say "stick to what you're good at.""

[4.0] "Legs. That's the gimmick. Got her start on the big stage in WCW's downward spiraling days, then came to the WWF and was a valet for the Dudleyz. Couldn't wrestle beyond bra and panty matches. Standing around looking pretty was her strong suit."

[5.0] "Hey, she wasn't that horrible for being a valet with little in-ring training. She could pull off some okay moves. The reason why she never did many of them is because they only required her to look pretty and move some legs. As a manager you can't deny she was really over"

[4.0] "I chuckle to myself now and then when I see Stacy Keibler; When WCW was searching for a new Nitro girl, a close friend tried out and got fairly far into the contest only to ultimately lose to, Yeah. Anyway, to excel in this American rasslin' business of ours, you must be able to navigate oneself through the infrastructure and politics. My friend would have never excelled in the industry the way Stacy did. All that being said, my criteria is "how watchable are they" and Stacy's wrestling is T E R R I B L E. Her mic work was strong and she had chemistry with essentially everyone she worked with... as a valet. As a valet she shined, as a wrestler she is about on par with Terri Runnels (minus the porno overtones). All points earned on her work ASIDE from the wrestling part."

[1.0] "Not a wrestler (a bra & panties match specialist only) and lacked personality to be any good as a valet. I can't even think of one single remarkable moment in her entire career (okay, maybe the post-kiss RKO, but that was it). Probably the blandest diva ever. I honestly don't get how anyone would rate her higher than a 4 at all."

[8.0] "I don't think you need to be all things to all people in order to receive a good rating - Stacy Keibler was hired to be a charasmatic and attractive manager and in that regard she nailed it. Her in-ring work wasn't great, but then that's true of most managers (with the exception of Bobby Heenan, and of course any "ex" wrestler). She took some pretty hefty bumps, was a decent seller and was a good talker (mainly in backstage segments). As others have mentioned, she was also known for being a true professional backstage, tackling anything she was asked to do to the best of her abilities."

[3.0] "Why is Stacy rated so highly here? She was a blind robot in the ring and just about all she had going for her was looks.. She was open to ideas and willing to take bumps through tables so I? ll give her that."

[9.0] "Her gimmick Miss Hancock in WCW was awesome, probably her appearance on the show is the only thing that made me even watch their show (WCW was dying at the hands of the Russo by then). In WWE, she captivated me with her gorgeous debut, thanks to which she and Vince McMahon gave birth to an immortal meme with Vince's face)) 1. Her feud with Torrey is charming 2. The plot with Test and Scott Steiner is a fail (The only bright spot is the moment with Steve Austin) 3 Her Super Stacy look is funny! ... Her matches are normal for that diva era! In general, if she ever decides to return, then let it be Miss Hancock's gimmick)"

[3.0] "She was hot.. and that was it. Literally thats it, i dont see why shes rated so high on here. I guess nostalgia and sex appeal mean a lot, but anyways besides her sex appeal she was a bad wrestler, but she gets 3 points for willing to take so many table bumps."

[4.0] "While she was by no means a good wrestler, she was actually a lot better than most of her peers in the ? women? s division? during WWF? s Attitude Era. I? ll rate her as ? adequate? because she at least appeared to be trying in the ring, unlike some of her counterparts."

[7.0] "I'm not one to rate someone based on sex appeal, but since that was basically her role, I think she's one of the most successful at it, and was a lot more convincing than people like Sable, Debra or The Kat. Not really good in the ring, but she didn't have to be."

[4.0] "As a wrestler she was pretty bad, however she did do a decent enough job at being a basic in-ring heel. As a valet she was okay but nothing special at all."

[0.0] "Well, if you get passed her look & actually judge her like every other member of the roster you'll realise how painful to watch Stacy Keibler was. One of the worst workers ever & with an absolute terrible mic skills & no charisma to make it up for it."

[3.0] "Not much about her. Never won any titles. Just known for her long legs and looks. She was more of a mascot than a wrestler. Great manager and shook her ass to the crowd. I don;t know a great match of hers maybe Wrestlemania 20 but naa!"

[6.0] "Very very attractive woman and she actually took some great bumps. However, in the ring she lost most of her matches and while having serviceable skills there definitely are some ladies with a higher wrestling skillset but no disrespect to her."

[6.0] "Stacy was described as nice, lovely and never complaining. To be a Diva in that time wasnt easy, just being pretty and never taken serious I think Stacy was ahead of her time, she put major gunns through 2 tables, she took table slams, she was 20 years before most women doing stuff like that wen not dancing and showing her ass for attention instead of being in the ring and improving. Stacy was told to be very easy to work with and very eager to learn with an actual passion for wwf before joining WCW. The real shame lies in her finisher only ever ending 1 match, her quitting so early before she got that huge push after Dancing with the stars. She would probably come back with a huge push and gimmick and could have done great things later. her moves were OK, she sold pretty good and if you look in her oldest matches she even did high fly moves and more, Stacy is a victim of bad management and being too pretty for her own best."

[7.0] "During her time, I found her to be the most attractive gal in the company. So if she was there purely as eye candy, she certainly worked for that. But as an actress, she left something to be desired. Whether it be with David Flair in WCW or the Dudleyz in WWE, she never really connected with me. The few times she wrestled, she was quite terrible & is only remembered for doing the corner choke with her long legs. Used for many lingerie catfights, which is a huge blackmark on the company looking back."

[9.0] "Stacy was perfectly suited to a managerial/valet role, with her looks, personality and insane sex appeal, and great at using her natural charisma and facial expressions to draw fans in, all of which certainly placed her several notches above many of the other "eye candy" divas of her era. She wasn't really suited to an in-ring role - while athletic and agile, but never quite grasped in-ring basics - but that shouldn't have been her role anyway. As a personality and a ringside presence, she was great."

[5.0] "A very wasted manager because she was very good at been manager for others wrestlers but in the ring she wasn't good with always the same moves over and over again and never showed a good improvement, in the mic she was nothing special and sometimes it was poor, her character was nothing of diferent and never was a thing that the management really cared about and the only thing they only cared about her was her LEGS, she was involved in quite useless stories and something that will never be memorable unless if her legs appeared on it because she got THE legs."

[5.0] "Stacy was not a very good wrestler, but she was a great valet. She had a good look and was involved in a few memorable and a few cringy story lines. Her charisma was off the charts."

[4.0] "Stacy was a below average wrestler. However, that wasn't really her role; she was more of the "eye candy" type of diva, and she did well in that role. She has famous legs, and she was popular with the crowd."

[3.0] "Stacy Keibler was never really any good. In fact, she was pretty atrocious, both on the mic and inside the ring. She lacked charisma, and didn't make up for it as a grappler. She did, however, have a different look from her fellow, uhm, well stacked Divas, as Stacy was better known for her long legs and statuesque presence."

[7.0] "I honestly don't remember any key or memorable matches Stacy Keibler had. Still the tall and lanky Stacy Keibler had her moments of wonder with her managing the Dudley Boyz back in 2001 to playing a pretty cool "Super Stacy" heroine character, leading to in all, Stacy having a decent career during her time in the WWE."

[5.0] "She looks amazing, she has insane charisma, was always fun and cool, tho she wasn't good in ring she knew how to perform her role and how to do few moves so everyone love her for that."

[8.0] "Not a wrestler at all, but that wasn't her job; she was there to be a hot and charismatic valet and she was pretty good at that."

[4.0] "Probably one of the most stunningly gorgeous women to ever enter a ring, but, once entering that ring, she was completely clueless. As a valet and character in storylines, she did pretty well. But as a wrestler, she was completely awful. This rating is solely for her work as a valet and storyline participant. Her in ring work deserves a 0."

[5.0] "Terrible wrestler, but not bad character work and easily in the top 3 in terms of wrasslin' ladies who were hired for and promoted solely on their looks"
