Stacy Keibler had an underrated career that saw her managing many wrestlers throughout the years. Fans gravitated towards Keibler during her stints in WCW and WWE, helping her became one of the most popular female performers in wrestling history. Keibler's popularity would rarely be utilized in the ring since she was never as comfortable wrestling as most of her peers were, but she still left an undeniable impact on the industry.
Managing would become the best place for Stacy to utilize her popularity and charisma. Many wrestlers would spend time working with her in WWE and WCW. Some saw their legacies grow during the run working with Keibler. Others would struggle to get over as fans only cared about her in the act. Find out which talents made the most of their time with her. These are the top ten wrestlers managed by Stacy Keibler, ranked.
10 David Flair
WCW tried make David Flair a star based on his background as the son of the legendary Ric Flair. However, David's progression never allowed him to make a big impact in the WCW world. His push came too fast without enough training to perform at a high level.
WCW’s last-ditch effort to save David was placing him in a romantic storyline with Stacy Keibler, but even her popularity did little to give Flair any relevance. In fact, a swerve would see Keibler leave David as his career continued to fall apart.
9 Shawn Stasiak
Another WCW prospect that received a push with Stacy Keibler as his manager was Shawn Stasiak. The young star had potential leading to both WWE and WCW trying to push him. WCW’s idea of a push was the arrogant heel character dating Keibler.
The two worked together in the final few months of WCW’s existence in a feud against Bam Bam Bigelow. Stasiak never got over and failed to make an impact during his short time with Stacy. WWE split them up when buying WCW and bringing them over for the Invasion storyline.
8 Lenny & Lodi
The WCW tag team known as Standards and Practices would be played by the comedic duo of Lenny and Lodi. WCW was getting heat from the actual standards and practices team upset with them pushing the envelope due to edgier content.
Lenny and Lodi were tasked with playing a parody of the team that WCW had issues with. Stacy Keibler was their manager for a short time, but she eventually broke free. Keibler's popularity made her the only positive aspect of this entire angle.
7 Rosey
One of the WWE ideas to feature Stacy Keibler in a managing role saw her dressing in a superhero outfit to manage two beloved heroes on Raw. Rosey was the superhero in training, often taking part in comedic segments and matches with his partner The Hurricane.
The late Rosey is the brother of Roman Reigns. WWE once viewed him as having huge potential, but they eventually decided to slot him in a comedic role since he naturally charming. Rosey found more success in this role and benefited from Stacy’s time managing him.
6 Tazz
The shortest tenured managing role for Stacy Keibler saw her teaming with Tazz for a few weeks. Torrie Wilson turned face to leave WCW for WWE during the Invasion storyline. Stacy became obsessed with getting revenge on Wilson and her boyfriend Tajiri.
Tazz was involved in a feud with Tajiri at the time and became associated with Keibler due to it. The relationship would see them teaming together in mixed tag action along with one or two instances of her managing him. They never had the chemistry to have the act run longer.
5 Randy Orton
Randy Orton and Stacy Keibler entered a short-term romantic storyline during Orton’s first run as a face in the main event picture. The two didn’t showcase much chemistry and Orton started to lose momentum. WWE turned him back heel just in time for a WrestleMania 21 feud with The Undertaker.
Orton turned on Keibler by hitting her with an RKO out of nowhere during an episode of Raw. The relationship ended without much of a payoff beyond that since WWE wanted Orton as a heel for his match with Undertaker.
4 Test
Test might have been the wrestler that most benefited from having a run with Stacy Keibler as his manager. The two had a real-life relationship that made its way on screen for their characters. Stacy was the marketing consultant trying to come up with unique ideas to present Test.
They did have strong chemistry together, but the run ended with Test turned heel. Keibler would play the role of a mistreated ex-girlfriend as fans rallied behind her. Test showed impressive heel work during this angle. Unfortunately, it never pushed him higher up the card without Stacy at his side.
3 Scott Steiner
WWE would add Scott Steiner to the storyline with Test and Stacy Keibler. Test became jealous of Steiner and started to make things worse for Keibler. Steiner came to her defense as the two wrestlers got into a long feud over Stacy.
The time managing Steiner would see Keibler help him get more over with the WWE audience. Steiner, however, turned heel during this time and entered a tag team with Test. They forced Keibler to manage them for a few months before the tag run ended completely.
2 The Hurricane
Stacy Keibler’s superhero era saw her spending a lot of time with The Hurricane. Rosey and Hurricane performed in the tag team division and on their own for the occasional singles match. Meanwhile, Keibler appeared at ringside with them in her flattering superhero costume.
Hurricane was the glue of the trio as the superhero character fans most enjoyed. Hurricane always delivered, and his comedic work put the character over the top. Stacy played a huge role in Hurricane’s run lasting a little longer before WWE ended it.
1 The Dudley Boyz
Stacy Keibler uniting with the Dudley Boyz gave her a strong role on WWE television during and beyond the Invasion storyline. Keibler's heel turn was a great fit with the top tier tag team of Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley.
Keibler’s look changed, with her now wearing camo shorts and Dudley shirt to match the top duo in the division. The Dudley Boyz continued to dominate the tag division with Stacy at their side. Their run together eventually ended with the Dudley Boyz putting Keibler through a table for costing them a match.
