Stacy Keibler may host Raw sometime after all
Former WWE diva Stacy Keibler, who told me in a November interview that WWE ignored her offer to host Raw when the show was in her hometown of Baltimore that month, said the company did express interest when her people contacted them several weeks later.
“Probably a month later, my publicist called them again and they said, ‘Oh, we would love to have her,’ and they gave us some dates, but it didn’t work around my schedule, Keibler told SI.com. “So maybe in the future if the timing is right, but right now there [are] no plans to do it. But it would be so much fun to walk out and feel that energy again and be around my fans. I would absolutely love to do it.”
It’s a shame that things didn’t work out when Raw was at 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore Nov. 30. Keibler, who lives in Los Angeles, was home for Thanksgiving – as well as the Sunday night game between the Ravens and Steelers – so it was perfect timing. No offense to Verne “Mini-Me” Troyer, but I think most fans would have preferred to see Keibler.
In other Keibler news, she is appearing on Monday’s episode of “How I Met Your Mother” at 8 p.m. on CBS.
By the way, here's a picture I took with Stacy when she was in Baltimore in May to host the Preakness Infieldfest. Note the t-shirt I am wearing. What else would you expect from an HBK mark?

Yeah right Stacy. You must be so busy going to Maxim parties and getting the occasional sitcom cameo about once per year. What an amazing career you have had since leaving WWE.
The only three wrestlers of her generation that I could see WWE wanting are Dwayne Johnson, Steve Austin, and Trish Stratus. Those are the only three that are still in demand, and I would actually believe them if they said they were too busy. Trish only hosted because they were in her backyard, the other two have turned them down.
Stacy still talks as if she is in huge demand. She's delusional. Wasn't this the same chick that called WWE a "circus", and said she was glad to be out of that business the second she got Dancing with the Stars? Now she is so gung ho about returning. Gee, I wonder why? Face it, her career is just about over, and she's getting desperate. I don't blame Vince McMahon for turning her down. She's not that hot anymore, and most WWE fans that watch nowadays probaly wouldn't even know who she is.

I know you are a family man Eck, but how great was it to take that pic?*
*Please note that I wanted to take massive liberties in the the question asked, but fear of being censored in future posts, I maintained a surprising amount of composure.

I only have one question for you:
When your banner picture was taken, would you have been in violation of the WWE's Wellness Program? ;-)
RESPONSE FROM KE: Well, I guess if Creatine is on the list of banned substances.

"I think I'm cute,
I know I'm sexy,
I got the moves,
That drives all the girls wild,
I'm just a sexy boy,
I'm not your boy toy...

Well said Jacob, very well said. Who other than 13 year old pre-pubescent little boys think Stacy is hot, much less still relevant in the whole scheme of things? Stay on the west coast Stacy, with all the other plastic celebrity wannabes.

Wow Jacob, bit bitter are we? What's wrong Stacey shoot you down in JR High? What the hell is the point of that post? Maybe it's just me (and perhaps Kev) but think your in the minority bro. The fans loved Stacey and still do, when she does host I guarantee you will see, which I'm betting only brings out a more viscous post of some unnamed or prior diss you must have perceived being pointed at you. Even if you believe what you write why say it? Man that's just mean spirited,no reason in the world to talk smack about our hometown girl like that. Unless ??????

Raw's comin' to San Diego soon. Pretty sure most of us would love to see Stacy host.

Yes, the woman that beat people like Michael Phelps and Cal Ripkin soundly for most famous celebrity in B-More is just desperate for attention and irrelevant... (shrug)

While I wouldn't put it the way Jacob did, I actually agree with what he's saying. I just can't see WWE being interested in Stacy Keibler hosting Raw. I mean, she was never quite a "money player", if you will, in the WWE. Trish has hosted, but that's because she was for a long time at the top of the women's division. Other former WWE talent that have hosted have also pretty much been HoF material. Sure, there's been some no-name "celebrity" guest hosts, but I suppose the idea was for WWE to gain a new audience; I don't see Keibler bringing in a new audience at this point (maybe a few years ago, after her stint in "Dancing", she would have).

Jacob,
I hope you're not deaf. Being dumb and blind must be hard enough.
