4. Stacy Keibler (Sean Stasiak Vs Bam Bam Bigelow - WCW Greed PPV, 18/03/2001)


Stacy prepares to introduce her man
Following her spell as the alluring Miss Hancock, and prior to joining the WWE and becoming the Duchess Of Dudleyville, Stacy Keibler became valet to Sean Stasiak. This match, in the final PPV event put on by WCW, not only gave Stacy the chance to dust off her old Miss Hancock business outfit (and hence those AMAZING legs), but also allowed her to demonstrate some excellent valet skills in her man's bout against Bam Bam Bigelow.

Walking to the ring alone, Stacy introduces the 'Mecca Of Manhood' to the crowd, before helping Stasiak to distribute photos of him to the ringside fans. As Bigelow enters the ring, Shaun and Stacy wisely retire ringside before Stasiak finally enters the ring and the match starts.

A tight opening follows, with Bigelow taking the early initiative and leading to a hurt Stasiak climbing out of the ring at 6:05 in to seek solace in Stacy's arms. After comforting her man, Stacy turns on Bigelow and the referee, shouting at them in the ring (left) and allowing Stasiak valuable time to recover. A soothing ringside kiss from Keibler at 6:38 helps to ease Stasiak's pain, after which he re-enters the ring to resume the bout.

Further attacks from Bigelow lead to Stasiak leaving the ring for a second time at 8:15, with Stacy again rushing to his aid. Bam Bam this time joins them out of the ring, grabbing Stasiak at 8:25 with the beautiful valet standing right next to the two men. Momentarily distracted by the presence of the blonde valet, Bigelow allows himself to be nailed by Stasiak, prompting a celebratory loving clinch between Stacy and Sean at 8:40 before the attack continues.

Eventually the match turns though, with Bigelow flying off the top turnbuckle to land flush on Stasiak at 10:25. Somehow Stasiak kicks out at 2, but by this time Stacy has climbed onto the ring apron for her decisive input to the match.

Grabbing the attention of the referee, she then turns her eye to Bigelow, attempting to lure him in with her feminine wiles. While Bigelow fails to be taken in and engages in heated discussion with the referee, Stacy unties her hair behind the back of the referee at 10:45 in, and appears to throw a can of hairspray to Stasiak out of view of Bigelow. As Stacy dances on the apron to further distract the referee, Stasiak sprays the hairspray in the face of Bigelow, temporarily blinding him and allowing Sean time to land a neckbreaker to seal the win once the referee's attention has returned.

Post-match, Bigelow receives medical attention ringside as Stacy mockingly looks on, hands on hips, smiling and satisfied with her work. A passionate kiss in the ring between Sean and Stacy and a playful slap to Stasiak's behind from his valet completes the action.

Stacy displayed a range of valet skills during the match, from compassionately comforting her man, verbally attacking the referee and Bigelow, and acting as a useful distraction when the action spilled out of the ring. The ending was textbook valet technique though, with Stacy using a combination of femininity and guile to manufacture the win. The introduction of a foreign object in the form of the hairspray can, which was cunningly disguised in her tied-up hair, was a premeditated act and a real game-changer to which Bigelow had no answer. Being able to simultaneously distract the referee while passing the hairspray unseen to Stasiak, and then choosing the perfect time to withdraw her input and allow the referee to count the pin, was perfectly executed and led to a deserved win for Team Stasiak.
