Stacy Keibler was born in Baltimore on 14th October 1979, Stacy Anne-Marie Keibler grew up wanting to be a star. Her parents, Gary & Patricia, nourished their only child’s dream by taking her to ballet, tap and gymnastics lessons. By age five, Keibler had even earned her SAG card.
She joined the Baltimore Ravens cheerleaders in 1998, where she graced a Ravens trading card. A year later, Keibler’s life changed forever when she entered a dance contest for a spot in the WWE Nitro Girls lineup. After winning the contest and $10,000, Keibler joined the crazy world of wrestle-mania by dancing with her fellow Nitro Girls during commercial breaks of “WCW Monday Nitro” (1995-2001).
After only a month, she was promoted from sideline dancer to wrestler in the ring – using the stage name Miss Hancock on TV’s popular “WCW: Saturday Night” (1991-2000). Keibler learned the ropes and soon became a fan favorite – especially when administering her trademark moves like the spinning karate kick and the foot choke.
The less talented dancer but beloved former football great Jerry Rice bested Keibler with viewer votes, providing the only shock of the night. The "Dancing with the Stars" champion -- once Keibler lost her shot -- went, not suprisingly, to former 98 Degrees singer and brother of Nick, Drew Lachey.

Maria Shriver has bought a new home in OJ Simpson's former neighbourhood as she plans life after Arnold Schwarzenegger
The new home is located in the swanky Brentwood neighborhood, not far from the family home she shared with Schwarzenegger during their 25-year-marriage.
Shriver, 55, officially filed for divorce from the former California governor last week - two months after Schwarzenegger, 63, revealed he had fathered a child with a former household employee during his marriage to Shriver.
And she's already moving on from her broken marriage - Shriver has bought a new $US10 million ($A9.38 million) home in Brentwood, California - not far from the estate she shared with Schwarzenegger during their marriage, according to TMZ.com.
Schwarzenegger, who has four children with Shriver, could even exceed his legal obligations and give his soon-to-be ex-wife the majority of his Hollywood fortune in their upcoming settlement, a source told Radar Online.
The settlement proceedings will be overseen by a private judge, the source added, in order to prevent details of the pair's marriage from leaking to the media.
U.S singer Mariah Carey is set to assist Simon Cowell at the judge's houses rounds of US 'X Factor'.
The X Factor creator said back in April that Carey would have a small part in the U.S. show premiering in September, but now she may be headed for a more substantial, full-time gig with the reality competition
However, 42-year-old Sinitta - who previously dated Brad Pitt - is not happy with the decision.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: 'Well, let's just say feathers will fly if Mariah takes my spot. Although she is a mega diva vocally, you can expect another 'X Factor' USA drama. I won't just roll over and take it. I hope she can run in high heels.'
In April, Simon spoke of his desire to have Mariah involved with the programme, but admitted he was unsure in what capacity.
He said: 'I think Mariah will have a role on the TV live shows. I met her recently and she was on great form. And her idea was to be the judge of the judges, which only Mariah could come up with
The audition stages of the 'The X Factor' are currently taking place, with British singer Cheryl Cole sensationally sacked from the programme after taking part in just four episodes, to be replaced by Nicole Scherzinger.
