Stacy Keibler is probably one of the most successful wrestling personalities following her years as a professional wrestler. While she wasn't especially known for her athleticism, she was recognized for being some of the most desirable ringside eye candy in Word Championship Wrestling (WCW) and WWF/WWE history. With moves like the Standing Hair Pull, the Hairmare, the Corner Foot Choke, and the Keibler Kick she might not fly off the top turnbuckle, but she can hold her own in the ring.
Prior to stepping foot in a ring, she became a Baltimore Ravens cheerleader. In 1999, she found her way onto the WCW roster after winning a fan-voted dance competition. Utilizing her aesthetic two years later she made her way to the WWF/WWE where she would remain on the roster from 2001 to 2006. Since she wasn't known for getting down in the ring she never won a title as a wrestler. However, she did win the 2004 WWE Babe of the Year Award and is highly successful outside of wrestling.
