most of the time.... she was the best dancer.

She should come back as a heel and talk about how the wrestling fans betrayed her and didn' tstand up for her when she needed it the most.

 

OR THE JOINING THE SPIRIT SQUAD WORKS TOO!!!

Or she can get buried.

 

Dancing with the Stars is the only leverage she still had, and coming in 3rd didn't help much. They can blame it on her not being over enough.

Yeah, my friends all got a kick out of that sound clip earlier today.

 

She's fucked.

 

 

Edit:

Did Jerry Rice win it?

[The Czech Republic 0]

It don't make no damn sense that they making this amounts of dollars.

You telling me! If maybe Vince McMan could give most moneys, they won't not have to live so bad.

How could she be foolish enough to make comments like that? A third place finish won't do anything for her post-WWE endeavors, if the company decides not to pick up her contract.

No.

 

For all the talk of Stacy being a ringer, didn't Drew Lachey have dance training as part of 98 Degrees?

 

edit: According to wikipedia (I know, not the best source), Drew Lachey is married to 98 Degree's choreographer.

Damn, Jerry Rice sure had the deck stacked against him.

I don't understand how this stupid show works, but I'd think that all this exposure regardless of finish is still going to be beneficial. Not like finishing second would've made her even more in demand, I don't think.

[iliketurtles 0]

So fucking Nick Lachey's brother won it?

 

Wow, Stacy's REALLY fucked.

[iliketurtles 0]

I bet Stacy's about to leave LAX on a one way flight to Washington DC to meet Triple H at the airport so he can tell her the good news.

 

Good thing they've got a Supershow tommorow night in DC because that way they can bury her on RAW AND Smackdown at the same time.

She did say she was getting other offers. I doubt she had any plans to stick around anyways.

When people say they are getting other offers, they really aren't. They just want others to think they are, so they will give them offers.

 

Kinda like when people call WWE up and say TNA offered them something...when TNA never did.

Coming in third won't necessarily kill Stacy's chances of outside work. As long as she impressed someone enough, or they think she's hot enough, someone will give her something to do.

 

Elizabeth Hasselbeck probably is the only contestant on Survivor to have any kind of lasting showbiz career after Survivor. She didn't win. But now she's a co-host on The View.

Hey, what about Road Rules' Kit Hoover?

 

 

 

Okay, bad example.

Don't worry guys, Stacey's career in film has already begun as she has starred in the 2001 "smash" Bubble Boy and recently starred in Big Momma's House 2 starring Martin Lawrence.

Bubble Boy, was a good movie. Under-appreciated.

[Guest Brian]

Two of those judges do movie choreography, so even if she doesn't get leads she'll get good gigs just through those two.

 

She was the best of the dancers overall. Her scores were relative ot the high standards she set. Jerry was awesome at working a crowd, and Drew came along nicely. At least Master P didn't win.

 

I can't believe how much on the defense Hawk is.

What? I just thought Bubble Boy was a good movie is all.

She'll do okay for herself... she has "it" and her elimination was a real star-making moment that nobody else had on the show. It was a *really* genuine moment and the crowd gave her a standing O as she was talking. That's what people are going to remember from the show, not who won.

 

Winning the contest was pretty much meaningless... being the third string guest on the Tonight Show during this week wasn't going to help her career anyway (and being the lead guest on "Jimmy Kimmel" Tuesday isn't a bad consolation prize). She already got the exposure she needed from being on a show that has over 20 million viewers, being on ET, Extra, etc.

If she can parlay this into a substanative movie/tv career, then good for her. However, all I see her doing after WWE is girl #6 parts in movies. I hope she proves her critics wrong.

If you think about it, if you are staying at Motel 6/8/Red Roof Inn type hotels you are still spending ~$12,500 a year for 250 dates a year just in hotels. Assuming you don't split the room.

Just listened to the sound clip.

 

HHH makes all the money.

 

GOLD.

I always assumed their travel expenses were tax deductible.

 

Vince doesn't take taxes out of their checks, according to Jesse Ventura and Mick Foley ("Dinner with the Guys" from the 2nd "Beyond the Mat" DVD).

What's Next for 'Dancing's' Stacy Keibler?

By Kevin Eck

Baltimore Sun Reporter

 

8:00 AM PST, February 28, 2006

 

One competitor, NFL great Jerry Rice, doubled over in amazement, and the studio audience let out a collective gasp when the host of Dancing with the Stars announced during Sunday night's finale that odds-on favorite Stacy Keibler was being cut.

 

But while Keibler and partner Tony Dovolani came up short in the ballroom dancing competition -- former 98 Degrees singer Drew Lachey copped the trophy -- the leggy World Wrestling Entertainment diva could very well end up the big winner in the long run from the exposure she received on the hit show.

 

"She's one of the most naturally graceful, talented nondancer dancers I've ever seen," said Katrina Szish, style director for Us Weekly magazine. "It doesn't take many people to look at her to say that she's beautiful, with long legs and a great body. But she can also communicate. She speaks well. She's the whole package of brains and beauty, more than just a pretty picture."

 

Keibler said yesterday that she's been flooded with offers for movies, television shows and commercials.

 

"I'm actually meeting with the president of ABC on Wednesday to talk to them about possibly doing some things on the network," she said. "I have endorsement deals -- I'm doing the new Skechers ad. It's been crazy."

 

A household name to pro wrestling fans since she broke into the industry in 1999 -- coincidentally enough by winning a dance contest -- Keibler, 26, was introduced to a wider audience through her fancy footwork on the ABC show.

 

During the eight-week run of the program, the statuesque blonde with the 41 1/2 -inch-long legs seemed to be everywhere, from appearances on Entertainment Tonight and Larry King's and Ellen DeGeneres' talk shows to the covers of TV Guide and Stuff Magazine. And her controversial third-place finish no doubt has been the talk at more than a few water coolers.

 

But even though Dancing with the Stars is over, Keibler's crossover into the mainstream is just beginning, industry observers say.

 

"Basically, this has been a coming-out party for Stacy," Stuff Magazine editor Jimmy Jellinek said. "The rest of the world now knows what wrestling fans have known for some time. I see no bounds for Stacy. She has that combination of innocence and toughness, the way Julia Roberts had when she started out: Someone who can steal your heart and kick your [behind]."

 

As the show was progressing, Keibler was asked to try out for a role as a Bond girl in a coming film. "They ended up wanting someone with an authentic British accent, and I didn't have enough time to prepare and go in an audition and act like I could pull it off because I was training for dance," said Keibler, who retains a trace of her Baltimore accent.

 

Keibler, who is under contract to WWE until July, said she is "not really sure" whether she will renew it.

 

The track record of WWE's female stars who have tried to make it in Hollywood isn't particularly encouraging. Neither Rena "Sable" Mero or Joanie "Chyna" Laurer, two of WWE's most popular women, made much of an impact away from wrestling -- although Laurer has become somewhat infamous for bizarre appearances on The Surreal Life and The Howard Stern Show, as well as marketing a porn tape of her and her former boyfriend.

 

Unlike other female wrestlers, Keibler said, she has not been surgically enhanced. And she does look more all-American girl than Amazon.

 

"Rena Mero and Joanie Laurer both looked like cartoon characters," said Dave Meltzer, editor and publisher of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. "They almost had to play weird roles. They just couldn't play the person next door. Stacy can play a lot more different things."

 

Ever since Keibler won a spot with a dance troupe that appeared regularly on the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling's televised broadcasts nearly seven years ago, the former Ravens cheerleader never hid the fact that she wanted to use wrestling as a stepping stone to an acting career. Before getting into wrestling, she appeared as an uncredited extra in Liberty Heights and Pecker, which were filmed in Baltimore.

 

Keibler moved to Los Angeles two years ago to pursue acting more aggressively. She landed a role as a Victoria's Secret clerk in Big Momma's House 2, but her scene ended up on the cutting room floor.

 

Keibler owes her biggest break to her mother, who suggested that she try to get on the second season of Dancing with the Stars.

 

She was a big hit with the show's three judges -- Bruno Tonioli breathlessly referred to her as "a weapon of mass seduction" -- but lost out when it came to viewers' voting. There was a bit of a backlash against her on Dancing with the Stars message boards, with some viewers saying her extensive background in ballet, tap and jazz gave her an unfair advantage over the other celebrities.

 

"It upset me because I put in over 250 hours of practice for this show ... and just because I had ballet when I was a kid, maybe it helped, but I was never the kind of dancer that I became during this competition, and I had never done ballroom dancing," Keibler said.

 

Her loss Sunday also sparked a spirited reaction on message boards, this time from angry fans who believed Keibler was robbed. Some talked of starting a petition to protest the outcome.

 

Keibler, who fought through an ankle injury and a pulled groin muscle during the past week, received four perfect scores during the series -- one more than Lachey -- but the judges' decisions and votes from viewers received equal weight. Keibler did not have the support to overcome Lachey or even Rice, whose judges' scores were consistently lower than hers.

 

"I think there were a lot of women out there watching and voting, and there were a lot of men out there watching, but not voting," Keibler said.

 

But despite her third-place finish, Keibler, who earned a perfect score for her final dance Sunday, said performing on the show was "the greatest experience of my life, and it has changed my life."

 

"I wasn't disappointed at all. I really was sincere when I said on the show that I was already a winner. I think we proved who the best dancers were [sunday] night on the show."

Yeah, she's so gone from the E come July.

Dammit Just...er....Darthtiki,

 

 

Don't you know, Stacy can't succeed without the WWWEEEEE!! She can't do anything without wrestling. She isn't allowed to, dammit! She can't possibly do anything except bra and panties matches and show her ass. We are the only reason she has life. [/Vince]
