20 Things You Didn't Know About The Undertaker
18. He HATES Cucumbers
One of the most bizarre rumours about The Undertaker is that he has a "phobia" of cucumbers, which numerous wrestlers would take advantage of in order to play pranks on the Deadman.
On his podcast, Bruce Pritchard said that famous backstage joker Owen Hart pulled some legendary cucumber-centric ribs on him:
"Owen put cucumbers in the bottom of the iced tea so that when 'Taker drank the tea and drank it back, he didn't realize the cucumbers were in there until it was looking at his face."
In a 2013 interview, the late Paul Bearer, who surely knows 'Taker better than almost anyone, also confirmed Taker's hatred of the vegetable:
"He cannot stand cucumbers...I saw The Undertaker throw up all over a Waffle House because there was a cucumber floating in his iced tea...It was something to do with when he was a kid...I guess his mother made him eat them when he didn't want them, or something. He just hates cucumbers."
Taker himself actually clarified the rumour in a recent interview, stating, "Okay let's get this straight. I'm not scared of cucumbers. I just don't like cucumbers, okay?"
When asked what he'd do if someone presented him with a cucumber, he added, "I'll probably leave the room, but I'm not gonna run."
And there it is.
