'''Stacy Ann-Marie Keibler''' (born [[October 14]], [[1979]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[actor|actress]], former [[professional wrestler]] and [[manager (professional wrestling)|manager]] for [[World Championship Wrestling]] and [[World Wrestling Entertainment]].

==NamingEarly life==

Born the only child of Gary and Patricia Keibler and raised in [[Rosedale, Maryland]], a community within [[Baltimore County, Maryland|Baltimore County]], Stacy started dancing at the age of three and studied [[ballet]], [[jazz dance|jazz]] and [[tap dance|tap]] at a local studio, Jean Kettell Studio of Dance, in [[Dundalk, Maryland|Dundalk]]. Keibler attended Catholic High and [[Towson University]], earning near-perfect grades in [[Mass communication|Mass Communication]]{{Fact|date=March 2007}} at the latter. She later became a [[NFL Cheerleading|cheerleader]] for the [[Baltimore Ravens]] [[American football|football]] team, being the youngest of the group.

Respectfully suggest that because [[Magma Taishi]] was never known in English as [[Ambassador Magma]], it makes no sense to force [[Space Giants]] to be [[Ambassador Magma]]. In English, the show was most widely known as [[Space Giants]], this is an English-language wiki, therefore [[Space Giants]] is the appropriate name of this article.

==Career==

-----

===World Championship Wrestling===

In 1999, Keibler entered a contest held by [[World Championship Wrestling|WCW]] to find a new member of [[Nitro Girls]] dance troupe, which she won. Initially a Nitro Girl, Keibler would perform dance routines every week on WCW's flagship show Monday Nitro under the name '''Skye'''. However, this didn't last long as she soon accepted a larger role and became a [[manager (professional wrestling)|valet]] using the provocative [[stage name]] '''Miss Hancock''' (originally Miss Handcock), briefly serving as an associate for the [[tag team]] of [[Leonard Carlson|Lenny Lane]] and [[Brad Cain|Lodi]] dubbed "Standards and Practices". Despite wearing [[Suit (clothes)|business suits]], her character would often climb on top of the announcers table and start dancing sensually, much to the announcers' and fans' delight. It was also during this period that she began using what would become her trademark ring entrance. [[Image:StacyEntrance1.jpg|frame|left|Keibler's trademark Ring Entrance]] At 5' 11", Keibler was one of few women in professional wrestling tall enough to step over the middle of three ropes that surround the ring. She would do so while pausing momentarily to give the audience a peek of her famed "assets," as her ring attire usually included either hotpants or a miniskirt with a skimpy [[thong]] ([[G-string]]). This tease, among others, would remain a staple of Keibler's risque gimmick throughout the rest of her professional wrestling career.

After Standards and Practices "fired" her, Keibler went on to become the manager for Los Fabulosos, a Latin American tag team consisting of [[César González|Silver King]] and [[El Dandy]], leading them to their first major victories within WCW.

For a brief period, she dated [[David Flair]] (both on screen and off), who was already involved in a faux relationship with [[Shannon Spruill|Daffney]]. This led to Keibler's in-ring debut at the Bash at the Beach in a Wedding Gown Match, which she lost after she, as well as David Flair and the referee, were left in the ring in their underwear. Keibler removed her own gown.

With all due respect, whether you know the show as ''Ambassador Magma'', ''The Space Giants'', ''Space Avenger'', ''Monsters from Outer Space'', etc., there's no denying that the character Ambassador Magma at least had a history.

Hancock was next brought into a brief feud with [[Kimberly Page]], but Page quit the company at the beginning of the feud after problems with [[Scott Steiner]] and a refusal to wrestle Keibler on Pay-Per View.

One can always learn about The Space Giants through Ambassador Magma, just as one can learn about, say, Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot through Giant Robo or Battle of the Planets through Gatchaman. [[User:Ryuuseipro|Ryuuseipro]]

Keibler and Flair began a feud with the Misfits in Action [[stable (professional wrestling)|stable]], which saw her fall to [[Tylene Buck|Major Gunns]] in a mud wrestling match at [[New Blood Rising]].

Japanese series with name changes are in an unusual position because due to the way fans use original sources, titles and characters are often more widely known by their non-American names in America than by their American names (cf. [[Usagi_Tsukino]]). Google shows 862 hits for "Ambassador Magma" and 853 for "Space Giants" (including several false hits). [[User:Ken Arromdee|Ken Arromdee]] 18:28, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

In another notable angle, Keibler feigned pregnancy and later broke up with Flair. Originally, the angle called for her to reveal the baby's father as [[Vince Russo]]. She began to use her real name and became the valet for [[Shawn Stasiak]].

==Racism/cultural differences==

I will explain some of the changes I made in the section formerly called "Anti-Japanese sentiment." While I don't dispute that anti-Japanese sentiment and racism has existed in various forms, particularly in the US, I did not find that the information in the paragraph conclusively demonstrated this. The paragraph really describes the practice of adding familiar characters to increase the appeal in the target market, which happens on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific. Consumers simply want characters and settings that they can identify with. That is an important thing to describe, but it does not necessarily equate to racism or anti-Japanese sentiments. Here are some other things I felt it necessary to change:

*Removed language regarding World War 2. While it is probably true that lingering tensions remained at this time, nothing in the paragraph supported this assumption.

*We cannot say that [[Americanization]] died down after the popularity of [[Godzilla]] and then demonstrate instances of [[Americanization]] still going strong after [[Godzilla]]. That doesn't make sense.

*The movies were really [[Westernized]], not just [[Americanized]]. This specific paragraph mentioned attempts to penetrate [[Australia]]n markets as well as [[North America]]n markets (which presumably still include [[Canada]] and [[Mexico]] as of this writing). Unmentioned in this article were also attempts to penetrate Europe and Latin America.

*It is just not realistic to say that studios consider east Asian actors non-bankable. Studios have been making a ton of money in martial-arts and fantasy films since the 1970's, for example.

*Removed [[Perry Mason]] reference as it is superfluous to this article and is found in the relevant linked article.

===World Wrestling Entertainment===

All in all it's a good article and I enjoyed reading it.

====2001-2003====

When WCW was purchased by the WWF in 2001, her contract was one of 24 that were retained by the WWF. She portrayed a [[heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] character in [[The Alliance]]. She made her WWF TV debut on the [[June 14]], [[2001]] episode of ''[[WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|SmackDown!]]'' when [[Shane McMahon]] brought her to the ring to distract [[Terry Gerin|Rhyno]], causing him to lose a match. Keibler originally teamed up with real-life friend [[Torrie Wilson]] and the pair feuded with [[WWE Diva|WWF Divas]] [[Trish Stratus]] and [[Amy Dumas|Lita]]. During this feud, the four Divas competed in the first-ever tag team bra and panties match at the [[WWF Invasion]] pay-per-view which Trish and Lita won.

Towards the end of the [[The Invasion (professional wrestling)|WCW/ECW Invasion]], Keibler managed [[Dudley Boyz|The Dudley Boyz]], during which time she was [[nickname]]d the "[[Duke|Duchess]] of Dudleyville" by announcer [[Paul Heyman]]. She proved to be a fan favorite in this role, which lead to newfound popularity for the tag team. An early highlight of her career, Keibler made her WrestleMania debut at [[WrestleMania X8]] alongside The Dudleyz. Keibler's main angle at the time was getting pantsed by her opponent, revealing her white lace panties. Jacqueline, [[Matt Hyson|Spike Dudley]], and Torrie Wilson were among those to strip Keibler. During this time, she also feuded with former ally Torrie Wilson after Wilson left The Alliance. Keibler helped The Dudley Boyz put Torrie through a table. However, Torrie got her revenge after first giving Keibler a [[wedgie]] and pantsing her reveling her panties on an episode of ''[[WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|SmackDown!]]''. She then defeated Keibler in the first-ever [[lingerie]] match at [[WWE No Mercy#2001|No Mercy 2001]]. Keibler's role with the Dudley Boyz came to an abrupt end when she was powerbombed through a table after accidentally costing the team a match. Keibler was still a heel after the Alliance broke up. She set her sights upon the WWE Women's Championship at [[WWE Judgment Day#2002|Judgment Day 2002]] facing Trish Stratus in a losing effort. She would face Stratus a few more times in the proceeding weeks, losing every time.

-----

Keibler was originally [[WWE Draft|drafted]] to the ''SmackDown!'' brand in 2002, where she participated in a comedy segment involving WWE Chairman [[Vince McMahon]] hiring a personal assistant. McMahon was ready to hire another attractive female until Keibler interrupted and demonstrated why she should get the job by giving him a [[table dance]] in the ring. Keibler became Vince's personal assistant as well as his on-screen mistress, frequently shown flirting and even 'making out' with him in backstage segments, until Stephanie McMahon became [[List of authority figures in professional wrestling|general manager]] of the ''SmackDown!'' brand. [[Dawn Marie Psaltis|Dawn Marie]] made her debut on ''SmackDown!'' as Vince's legal assistant, who competed with Keibler for McMahon's affections.

Your revised version of my article is commendable. Except for one thing:

A key [[angle (professional wrestling)|storyline]] for Keibler's on-screen character occurred when she left ''SmackDown!'' for ''[[WWE Raw|RAW]]''. Keibler made her official ''RAW'' debut on [[August 12]], [[2002]]. After her acquisition was announced by then-General Manager Eric Bischoff, she greeted the cheering crowd and then removed her skirt as she performed one of her signature table dances on the ''RAW'' announcer's table. During her ensuing time on ''RAW'', Keibler managed [[Scott Steiner]] and [[Andrew Martin|Test]], the latter of which was her real-life boyfriend at the time. She was also involved in the eventual feud between these two. As Test's on-screen marketing agent, she came up with the idea that Test should call his fans "Testicles," cut his hair and reshape his image. However, Test became jealous of Keibler wanting to also be Steiner's manager. During a match on ''RAW'', Test turned heel and began verbally abusing Keibler. Steiner managed to defeat Test for Keibler's services, and Keibler seemed happy as Steiner's new manager, as the two characters even alluded to having more than a professional relationship. Test, however, was not happy at all, and petitioned for an intergender tag team match, pitting himself and former rival [[Chris Jericho]] against Scott and Keibler, to win back the services of Keibler. Test faked a leg injury to pick up the win.

*"This specific paragraph mentioned attempts to penetrate [[Australia]]n markets as well as [[North America]]n markets (which presumably still include [[Canada]] and [[Mexico]] as of this writing)."

A match was set for [[WWE Unforgiven#2003|Unforgiven 2003]], the stipulation being if Test won, he would not only retain Keibler's services, but acquire those of Scott Steiner as well. During the match, Keibler attempted to distract Test by lifting her skirt and shaking her bare butt for the crowd. This was unsuccessful. Keibler then attempted to whack Test with a chair, but he ducked and she accidentally hit Steiner instead. As a result, Test won the match and the services of both Keibler and Steiner. Steiner would then turn heel by attacking Keibler when she botched another interference on the next ''RAW''. For a time, Test and Steiner would work as a tag team, sharing the services of Keibler. Finally, General Manager [[Mick Foley]] put a stop to the abusive Test and Steiner and freed Keibler from her obligatory contracts with the pair by temporarily firing them.

That was for Ultraman. For ''Ultraman: Towards the Future'', Tsuburaya Productions was not trying to penetrate the Australian market, they were essentially trying to penetrate the North American market ''by way of Australia''. Ultraman was already very popular Down Under. [[User:Ryuuseipro|Ryuuseipro]]

== Unequal POV ==2004====

[[Image:Dvd-vivalasdivasofthewwe.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Keibler on the cover of the ''Viva Las Divas'' DVD]]

Keibler was chosen to record a track on the album ''[[WWE Originals]]''. She and WWE music producer [[Jim Johnston (composer)|Jim Johnston]] recorded the track "Why Can't We Just Dance?" for the album. Other tracks were performed by Superstars such as [[Chris Jericho]], [[Lilian Garcia]], and [[John Cena]], each of which had their own music career. Her track was used on an episode of ''[[WWE Raw|RAW]]'' for herself, during the [[WWE Diva Search|2004 RAW Diva Search]] and even on the ''Viva Las Diva of the WWE'' DVD.

Stacy then got involved with SmackDown! Divas Torrie Wilson and Sable. She aligned herself with Miss Jackie and they made it clear to everyone that they belonged in Playboy, not Wilson and Sable. Stacy and Jackie challenged Sable and Wilson to a Tag Team Evening Gown Match at Wrestlemania 20, which they lost. Jackie ended up losing the fall to Wilson after a roll up. Because Sable was having problems with her breasts, the divas began the match with their gowns off making it more of a Tag Team Lingerie Match than an Evening Gown Match. The fued was dropped after the match.

Aside from the racism and Americanization issues mentioned earlier on the discussion page, there is also a serious problem with the article concerning NPOV in the section "Realism" and all of the sections after it until the end of the article. The author(s) are obviously sympathizing with the Tokusatsu creators way too much, labeling America as cynical and acting like these movies were bullied out of the limelight in the United States. The movies are well known among most of the population, and they are well liked, if for different reasons. With all due respect, you can't pretend a film is up there with ''Citizen Kane'' when it primarily relies on special effects and the special effects aren't too good. The Tokusatsu films are an important part of cinematic history, but they aren't any messiah.--[[User:67.184.163.248|67.184.163.248]] 23:48, 10 September 2005 (UTC)Ikiroid

As one of the more popular RAW face Divas, Keibler took over the 2004 RAW Diva Search for a few weeks. That was followed by a dance competition with [[Nora Greenwald|Molly]]. This led to a push with her participating in several tag matches against the heel girls, then WWE Diva, [[Gail Kim]]; then heel and then WWE Diva, [[Trish Stratus]]; and then WWE Diva, [[Nora Greenwald|Molly Holly]]. Her partners were WWE star, [[Nidia Guenard|Nidia]] and then babyface, [[Lisa Marie Varon|Victoria]]. Keibler showed off much improved wrestling skills, managing to get upset victories over Molly, Gail, and Trish. She even got herself a Women's Championship title match on [[October 11]], [[2004]]. However, Trish defeated her to retain the title. Stacy also competed in the first-ever Fulfill your Fantasy Diva Battle Royal for the WWE Women's Championship at the 2004 Taboo Tuesday Pay-Per-View along with Victoria, Nidia, Gail Kim, Molly Holly, Jazz & the champion Trish. She got eliminated second to last as she was jumping over the top rope to avoid hitting the turnbuckle, Molly punched her in the face and knocked her off the apron thus eliminating her. Trish quickly disposed of Molly to retain.

''Aside from the racism and Americanization issues mentioned earlier on the discussion page, there is also a serious problem with the article concerning NPOV in the section "Realism" and all of the sections after it until the end of the article.''

Keibler was voted as the 2004 [[WWE Diva#WWE Babe of the Year|WWE Babe of the Year]], being the first WWE Diva to defeat [[Trish Stratus]] in the Babe of the Year competition (Stratus was 2001-2003 Babe of the Year). As a result of this, Keibler appeared on ''RAW'' following her victory and told everyone that she would bend over backwards to make the fans happy. Keibler's Babe of the Year photoshoots would be posted on WWE's official website on a monthly basis throughout 2005.

Well, why don't you do something about it? You know, you ''can'' edit it yourself. I can't be the only one working on this article (and yes, I did the article you criticized, which another person here thoughtfully edited for me). Let's put our heads together.--[[User:Ryuuseipro|Ryuuseipro]] 10:32pm, 11 November 2005

====2005====

Then again, the [[BBC]]'s [[Doctor Who]] successfully scared children for over 20 years with similar special effects. Somebody who knows more than I do might want to tie in tokusatsu to its worldwide legacy?

[[Image:Super Stacy.jpg|thumb|right|145px|Keibler had a brief run as Super Stacy, complete with her own superhero costume.]]

[[User:Paullisa|Lisa Paul]] 08:30, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Keibler soon began an angle with popular superstar [[Randy Orton]]. After kissing him on the cheek during a backstage segment on ''RAW'', there looked to possibly be a romance there. Randy even saved her from receiving a Pedigree from the villainous [[Triple H]]. She supported him from backstage and was never considered his manager. The storyline never really made any advances, and as Randy challenged [[The Undertaker]] to a match at ''[[WrestleMania 21]]'', Randy ended the relationship by giving her an RKO, justifying this evil act by claiming he was demonstrating just how ruthless he could be in order to defeat The Undertaker. In the end, Keibler's involvement with Orton was a device for his inevitable heel turn. Orton was the third on-screen boyfriend to betray Keibler.

Keibler would go on to join forces with [[Hurricane and Rosey]]. She became 1/3 of their trio as '''Super Stacy''', complete with her own superhero costume. During this time, Keibler was credited as having one of her best matches to date with [[WWE Diva]], [[Lisa Marie Varon|Victoria]], on an international edition of [[WWE Heat]].

I agree with 67.184.163.248. The section "Perception of Tokusatsu in America" contains a lot of criticism of said perception instead of merely describing it, and the criticism is not attributed to anyone but instead stated as if it were absolutely right and the popular perception wrong. I think it would be better if this section were split in half, one describing what the popular peception is (was?) and then the counter-reaction to it. Besides, arguing who's right or wrong about the assessment of the quality (which is higly subjective) of some film type is not interesting in a reference work such as an encyclopedia. What one would rather read is a description of each POV, the reasons behind them and when and where and by whom such POV is held. The presentation (including emphasis) should also be organized accordingly.

After a long tenure on Monday nights, Keibler and fellow ''RAW'' Diva [[Christy Hemme]] were moved to [[WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|''SmackDown!'']] as part of a trade, bringing [[Torrie Wilson]] and [[Candice Michelle]] to ''RAW''. Upon their debut, the two former ''RAW'' Divas participated in a bra and panties pillow fight that was deemed too hot for television (the match could be viewed on WWE's official website.) After a short absence, Keibler started a short feud with [[Jillian Hall]], which lead to the two having a match on [[WWE Velocity|''Velocity'']], during which Hall captured the victory through cheating. The match represented Keibler's final match and final appearance on WWE television.

Also, some of the language is not just POV, but rather unencyclopedic. "However, American fans like August Ragone and reporter Steve Ryfle have enlightened a skeptical media on this subject countless times, and people were profounded." Excuse me? Aside from the peculiar verbing of "profound", this is way too profuse for an encyclopedia :-) "enlightened" and "countless times" are both out, and so is "profounded" whether it's supposed to be "enlightened", "bewildered", "blown out of water" or whatever. Also wording like "Yes, some of these superheroes are altruistic, like" is not good, because it has "I'm trying to sell you this point and don't have enough convincing facts so I'm trying to make you a believer by speaking persuasively" written all over it. The normal policy is to describe the facts (including each POV if there are many, as there seem to be here) and let the reader make his own conclusions without preaching.

==Tone==2006====

Keibler appeared on the hit show ''[[Dancing with the Stars (US TV series)|Dancing with the Stars]]'' (see [[#Outside of wrestling|Outside of wrestling]]), placing third. Recaps were aired weekly on ''[[WWE Raw|RAW]]'', which was believed to be because of a conflict with ''[[WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|SmackDown!]]'' and [[UPN]] not wanting to promote a rival network. After a few weeks, her profile was moved from ''SmackDown!'' back to ''RAW''.

In April 2006, Vegas Magazine reported that Keibler was done with WWE and moving on to other endeavors. Keibler posted a message on her official website saying that her WWE contract expired on [[July 21]], [[2006]], and she went on to sign a contract with [[ABC Television Studio]], formerly Touchstone Television, which is owned by Disney.

While I'm going to steer clear of much of the controversy regarding this page, I will suggest omitting the use of exclamation marks. If this is to have the proper tone for a reference piece, then some of the enthusiasm implied within just doesn't work.

==Outside of wrestling==

''or even tokusatsu kantoku (特撮監督), which is Japanese for, appropriately enough, "special effects director"!''

[[Image:Tony and Stacy Tango.jpg|right|thumb|140px|Keibler dancing the [[Tango (dance)|tango]] with partner [[Tony Dovolani]]]]

For several months, Keibler wrote a monthly fitness column for ''[[Stuff (magazine)|Stuff Magazine]]'' titled ''Getting Fit''. Although her legs are famed for their length and beauty, she has great strength as well. In one issue, she speaks of how she recently attempted a 450 lb leg press. Although unable to push it, she did manage a 405lb leg press. In addition to posing for a total of five full pictorials, Keibler has graced the cover of ''[[Stuff (magazine)|Stuff Magazine]]'' twice, in [http://www.stuffmagazine.com/cover_girls/girl.aspx?id=470&src=wiki June 2005] and [http://www.stuffmagazine.com/cover_girls/girl.aspx?id=541&src=wiki March 2006]. ''Maxim'' named her #5 in their 2006 [http://www.maximonline.com/slideshows/index.aspx?slideId=1910&imgCollectId=94&src=wiki Hot 100] issue and #70 in their 2007 Hot 100.

Keibler has refused at least three offers to pose for [[Playboy]], believing that it would be better if she "left something for the imagination."

We're here to inform people of the concept, not convince them of its viability as a medium. Wikipedia is not an advertising medium - it is intended to be impartial and factual. Please always keep that in mind.

She competed in the second season of ''[[Dancing with the Stars (US TV series)|Dancing with the Stars]]''. Her dance partner was [[ballroom dance]]r [[Tony Dovolani]]. Keibler managed to score a perfect 10 in the earliest round of the competition ever. Keibler received a perfect score of 30 from the three judges for her [[Samba (dance)|samba]] dance routine in week five. This prompted the judges to nickname her a "weapon of mass seduction." The following week, two perfect scores were awarded, one going to Keibler, the other to fellow contestant [[Drew Lachey]]. Overall, Keibler and Tony received four perfect scores. Keibler came in third to Jerry Rice, who placed second in the final round of the competition, and Lachey, the winner of the season. However, some viewers and two of the judges, [[Bruno Tonioli]] and [[Len Goodman]], felt she should've at least placed second.

So now I return to adding the last touches (for tonight) on the Karaoke Revolution song list, in which the Japanese "anime songs" compilation inexplicably includes tokusatsu themes (and before anyone goes gallivanting off to blame the Americans, it was Konami who perpetrated that themselves). ^_^

Keibler has also appeared on [[MTV]]'s [[Punk'd]] twice. Once, as an accomplice to [[Triple H]]'s punk, along with [[Stephanie McMahon]], in season five. Keibler was then seen again in season seven, this time being Punk'd herself by her boyfriend, [[Geoff Stults]].

Cheers!

Keibler (along with Stults) is part-owner of the [[Hollywood Fame]], a [[2006]] expansion franchise of the [[American Basketball Association (21st century)|American Basketball Association]].

[[User:Miwasatoshi|Miwa]] 08:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

In February 2007, Keibler began her recurring role on ABC's Monday night dramedy, [[What About Brian]]. She plays the role of Brian's new neighbour and love interest, Stephanie. This marks Keibler's first significant acting role, compared to her previous minor roles in both "Bubble Boy" and "Pecker".

== Major cleanup needed ==

Keibler also guest starred on [[The George Lopez Show]] on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] when the show returned in January. According to an interview on E! Television, she hopes to have her own sitcom soon and is also working on [[The Comebacks]], a comedy film produced by [[Punk'd]] producer Adam Goldberg.

#In-line citations please, first of all.

#Please eliminate weasel words. Stuff like ''One of the things that Japanese live-action fantasy is usually criticized for by non-fans in America'' is not sourced. Who is saying this? All of this should be sourced.

#Fandom is not relevent here. It appears that some fan films are notable, but a major part of the "criticism" and the fandom sections appear to be pits so people can bash tokusatsu.

#Tone is an issue here. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia here to report facts, without any loaded language. "Sadly, the jargon suitmation is mostly extinct today" is not necessary. Just state that it's no longer used.

This article has six templates. I'd like to get it down to at least three. [[User:Hbdragon88|Hbdragon88]] 06:45, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Keibler has also worked as an entertainment correspondent for the ABC show ''[[Good Morning America]]'', covering the premiere of the [[Dancing with the Stars (US TV series)#Season 4|fourth series of ''Dancing with the Stars'']].

:I almost destroyed the newly-renamed "United Sates view" because all it looks like is a pit of whiny complaints about Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers. [[User:Hbdragon88|Hbdragon88]] 07:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

==Personal life==

== Tag overload ==

During her days with WCW, Keibler was romantically linked with [[David Flair]], the son of legendary wrestler [[Ric Flair]]. After joining WWE, Keibler was in a relationship with [[Andrew Martin|Test]] for several years. The couple were reported to have separated shortly before Martin was fired by WWE while he recovered from neck surgery, but maintained a friendship.

In [[June 2005]], Keibler was rumored to be in a relationship with actor [[Geoff Stults]], best known for his appearances on ''[[7th Heaven]]''. The couple were photographed at many places together and seen as an [[wiktionary:item|item]]. The pair also appeared together on [[MTV]]'s [[Punk'd]], with Keibler as the recipient of the prank. The [[September 2005]] edition of the tabloid, ''[[Star Magazine]]'', claimed that Keibler was involved in a [[love triangle]] with Geoff Stults and actress [[Jennifer Aniston]]. It was later announced that Aniston was in a relationship with the man that supposedly got her and daniels together, [[Vince Vaughn]]. Keibler denied rumors of a relationship with Stults in two interviews and gave a "no comment" to [[Todd Grisham]] when asked about it on [[WWE Byte This!|Byte This!]].

I'm really tempted to add something along the lines of the following to the page...

On [[May 16]], [[2006]], Keibler suffered a [[seizure]] at the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] Upfront Presentation in [[New York City]], and was hospitalized. The seizure was said to be minor and Keibler was released from the hospital shortly after. Four days later, Keibler appeared on the [[ESPN]] pre-race telecast of the [[Preakness Stakes]], in an interview with [[Kenny Mayne]].
