5 backstage stories about The Undertaker

#1 The Undertaker is afraid of cucumbers

Not much can frighten The Phenom

The Undertaker has had a long and illustrious career that may have come to an end, but he managed to strike fear into the hearts of every single opponent he faced in the ring.

While The Undertaker is the undisputed king of WWE, there is one thing that frightens The Phenom more than the sight of seven-feet tall 400-pounds weighing men. His weakness is a green vegetable, to be exact.

As revealed by his former manager Paul Bearer, and then confirmed by Bruce Prichard later, The Undertaker is afraid of cucumbers! According to Bearer, the fear had something to do with his parents making him eat them when he was younger. He hates cucumbers so much that the sight of the vegetable makes him nauseous.

Prichard was generous enough to share a story where Owen Hart played a prank on The Deadman:

“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,”

That’s not all, as there are several stories regarding Undertaker and other Superstars who’ve tried to get one over the legend by putting cucumbers around him.
