Kevin Von Erich came out in the middle of the Freebirds' speech to help put them over, and as he sang the iconic team's praises, he also started talking about the New Day's current appeal, but accidentally called them "these New Gay guys".

Cue Twitter making sure that Von Erich's gaffe (or Freudian slip, if you like) won't ever be forgotten, as fans began questioning their hearing before inevitably re-watching the clip to hear it for themselves.

Considering how seriously the Hall of Fame take itself (and admittedly rightly so for the most part), it's nice to see some comedy thrown into the mix...even if it was totally unintentional and ridiculously embarrassing. Even more hilariously, Kofi actually acknowledged the botch in an amusing Tweet.
