The Goodbye in Wrestling
By Scott Keith on 3 May 2025
So my USB cord stopped working in my car, there goes the apple carplay, short drive so I'm not bothering configuring the bluetooth function (just never needed to to begin with), so i gotta listen to horrendous Buffalo, NY radio for less than 5 mins. But then “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” by Steam comes on. And 2 questions pop in my head immediately:
1. What are the best instances of the crowd using this song at a wrestling event? I'm trying to put my finger on a Steph or Vince one from the 2000's but can't place it.
2. Is there an embarrassing one (or more!) where the in-ring talent was trying to get it going but the crowd just could care less? Maybe a few ala “Slow clap Guy from Not Another Teen Movie”
I can’t think of a particularly GOOD one at the moment but yeah, there’s a ton of pained ones.
