10 MORE Wrestlers In Situations That Scared The Sh*t Out Of Them

6. Salad Days

A brilliant insight into the private mind of a living legend thankfully revealed by Paul Bearer shortly before his passing, Undertaker's deepest darkest fear beyond nearly ending Mick Foley's very existence was apparently something that would have made an even bigger mess had he chucked it off a cell roof.

There are those that fear ketchup for the way it moves (and thus wouldn't have been any use making backyard wrestling tapes as kids), and some that take their distaste of pineapple on pizza to life-ruining levels, but The Undertaker's personal cibophobia was, hilariously, the innocuous and innocent cucumber.

Naturally - and rightfully so - the comical terror was capitalised on by the only colleague brave enough to do so. Longtime travelling partner, friend and confident at least didn't tell audiences the story whilst 'The Deadman' was still at his fearsome peak, but it wasn't going to stop him sh*tting up 'The Phenom' by loading his hat and gloves with the offending article.

It's only sad that the WWE Network didn't exist back then - backstage WrestleMania footage of Kane chasing after him with the healthy end of the catering table would be as valuable as the Bret Hart/Tom Magee match.
