10 Wrestlers And Their Biggest Fears
1. The Undertaker And Cucumber Phobia
From his dominant WrestleMania performances to his myriad championship victories, The Undertaker has enjoyed an incredible WWE run built on his unique character and presence. Now in the third decade of his WWE career, The Undertaker continues to make sporadic appearances for the company, much to the chagrin of fans who wish The Dead man would just hang it up. And with his sloppy matches beginning to resemble the plodding march towards death, criticism of The Undertaker's recent performances is well-founded.
So why does The Undertaker insist on wrestling into his mid-fifties? Is he afraid of retirement? No, his fears are much worse than that.
Brace yourselves for this one. The Undertaker hates cucumbers. In an interview with Jim Cornette, The Undertaker's longtime manager Paul Bearer revealed The Dead Man's aversion to the simple garden vegetable. Pickles are fine, though. He's not a savage.
Bearer claimed that after noticing a cucumber in his iced tea The Undertaker barfed all over a Waffle House, burying the restaurant alive in his stomach contents. Bearer also admitted that he and Brian Adams would regularly prank The Undertaker by placing cucumbers in his hat and gloves before big matches. And you thought Bearer betraying The Undertaker for Kane was cruel! When asked about the origin of The Undertaker's loathing of cucumbers, Bearer was short on real answers, rambling to Cornette that "his mother made him eat 'em or something when he didn't want to eat 'em or something." Mystery solved, I guess.
