It just sounds so ridiculous. One of pro wrestling's most intimidating characters fears a humble vegetable? Then, in 2020, 'Taker himself went on record to reveal that he's not actually scared of cucumbers. No, he just really, really doesn't like them and would leave the room if someone thrust one into his face.

Why though? That's what the people need to know.

Michelle McCool has finally set the record straight on this veg-related madness. She told 'The Wives Of Wrestling' podcast that her husband hates cucumbers because he "ate so many cucumbers one day that he got sick".

So, even the smell of the things makes 'Taker want to barf. He literally cannot be around them, especially if they've been cut into smaller pieces. Whole cucumbers are bad enough, but sliced ones? Forget it - 'The Deadman' is out of there in a flash.

McCool said it was "game over" after that fateful day. Her man can't even smell cucumbers without wanting to heave. He doesn't fear them, but he definitely can't stomach them.
