Legendary journalist Bill Apter doesn't believe Stacy Keibler is a WWE Hall of Famer

Stacy Keibler certainly had her fans, but many have argued that she wasn't a Hall of Famer, including legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter.

Bill shared his thoughts on Stacy's induction a few days before the ceremony. He noted that Keibler had a memorable career but wasn't sure if it was Hall of Fame worthy. Apter stated that the Duchess of Dudleyville may have been inducted into the Hall of Fame due to nostalgia:

"I think she [Stacy Keibler] had a good career. I don't know if it was a career memorable enough to put her in the Hall of Fame unless there's a reason to do that. She hasn't been seen or anything in a long time, she hasn't [been] seen [in] movies that I know of, not even a reality show. So maybe they're just going to do this for nostalgia. Unless George Clooney is going to reunite with her," said Bill Apter.

Stacy started her wrestling career as a Nitro Girl in WCW before spending several years in WWE. She left the company in 2006 and made sporadic appearances before her Hall of Fame induction during WrestleMania 39 weekend.
