Is WWE Legend The Undertaker REALLY Scared Of Cucumbers?

Or, is it all just a work?

Yes, this is a real story, but the world has to know.

The Undertaker appeared on the 'Pardon My Take' podcast to set the record straight on his long-rumoured fear of the humble cucumber. According to 'Taker, he's not literally scared of the questionably-shaped plant - he just really, really doesn't like them.

There's a special place in hell reserved for cucumbers, basically.

It's amazing that The Undertaker is willing to have so much fun with this long-held theory. He went on to joke that the pod hosts should change the subject because the "hair on my neck is standing up". Earlier, he revealed that he dislikes cucumbers even more if they're cut into little bits.

Eating salad at WWE catering must be a waking nightmare for 'The Deadman' then. He can just about stomach them when they're whole, but it all becomes too much when those bastard cucumbers start ganging up on him in groups.

The fear is real...sort of.

'Taker parted with one last joke about the end of his winning streak at WrestleMania XXX. He thinks it would've been "more believable" had he slipped on a cucumber before Brock Lesnar beat him.
