Undertaker is a very private man, who seems to have created an amazing balance between home and work. It's indicative of the professionalism he exemplifies that you never truly know what gets under the man's skin. Those who know him best, however, have decided to tell multiple sources about the one thing 'Taker fears most.

Well, not so much what the Undertaker fears - which is nothing - but what Undertaker hates the most is cucumber. Also some large pickles.

Multiple people who've worked closely with 'Taker have some kind of bewildering cucumber-related anecdote. Brian 'Crush' Adams, Paul Bearer and Owen Hart have all subjected the Deadman to cucumber-based japery, with the latter gripping 'Taker in a headlock during a match in order to shove a piece of cucumber in his face.

Paul Bearer, when asked to theorise as to the origin of the Phenom's phobia of phallic pepos, suggested it may be related to some kind of early childhood trauma.

Possibly the last thing 'Taker saw before his family's home burned down was a cucumber, or something.
