I watched season 1 on Amazon Prime and enjoyed it. You’re now required to buy it by the episode. It’s only 99 cents (for a 15 minute episode). I guess I didn’t enjoy it enough to pay for it. If Amazon Prime can include Lord of the Rings that cost $1B to produce, I’d think a cheaply produced soap can be included as well.

Stacy Keibler to be Inducted Into WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023

March 27, 2023

With Wrestlemania 39 weekend in Los Angeles fast approaching, a fourth inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame has been announced.

As many had predicted, Stacy Keibler will join Rey Mysterio Jr., The Great Muta and Andy Kaufman as the class of 2023. The induction ceremonies take place on Friday night and stream on Peacock beginning at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

Keibler (age 43), the now mom of three, was shocked and emotional upon learning she was being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. When speaking with PEOPLE, who broke the news of Kiebler’s induction, Stacy expressed that she found out from an unexpected call from a WWE rep two weeks ago, while she was in her kitchen.

“When she told me, I screamed,” Stacy shared. “Tears were in my eyes, and I was completely overwhelmed with just gratefulness.”

As for how she made her way into pro wrestling, Stacy first made her mark after winning a contest to become a member of the WCW Monday Night Nitro, ‘Nitro Girls’ dance troupe.

A self-admitted long-time wrestling fan, Keibler first made her mark when she became an ‘accountant and manager’ in WCW named ‘Miss Hancock’. When Vince McMahon purchased WCW, Keibler headed to WWE and in 2001 made her debut as part of The Alliance.

Later, Stacy was renamed as ‘The Duchess of Dudlyville” and managed The Dudley Boyz. Still later, she managed Test, Scott Steiner, and then came Rosey and The Hurricane, where she became ‘Super Stacy” along with the superhero duo. Throughout her WWE career, she had shared memorable matches against Torrie Wilson and Sable.

Since exiting the WWE in 2006, Keibler has appeared on numerous TV shows including: competing for the Mirror Ball Trophy on Dancing with the Stars and a guest-spot on How I Met Your Mother.
