7 Wrestlers Who Became Too Big For WWE
4. Stacy Keibler
When Stacy Keibler won a WCW contest to become the company's newest Nitro Girl, she had arrived in the world of pro wrestling. Before long, she transitioned from the dance crew to a role as a personality, the secretary Miss Hancock.
Keibler became a focal point of WCW in its dying days, and when the company was purchased by WWE, she joined the sports-entertainment giant. She was never exactly capable as a wrestler, but as a manager and on-screen personality she found a steady role in the company.
In 2005, Keibler had a shot at major exposure, and she took it - she was invited to participate in season two of the ultra-popular competition series Dancing with the Stars. Not only did Keibler join the cast, but she excelled: she and partner Tony Dovolani made it to the finals, finishing in third place.
Keibler was offered acting roles, and she decided to make that the focus of her career (her and former boyfriend Test both felt their futures lay in Tinseltown back in 2003). Now a mainstream star, she left WWE in 2006. Her roles on major TV shows and her relationship with George Clooney kept her in a spotlight about which most WWE superstars can only dream.
