The Undertaker. The deadman, the phenom, the conscience of the WWE. Whatever you call him, there's no doubt that he has had one of the most legendary careers in all of wrestling.
Debuting at the 1990 Survivor Series, the Deadman has stood the test of time, capturing World Championships, forming a legendary (albeit broken) streak, and having a library of classic matches.
So with the Undertaker's return at the upcoming WWE Super Show-Down, here's six things about the Undertaker you probably didn't know.
What does the Deadman fear?
He has terrified superstars for decades, so it's hard to imagine the Undertaker is afraid of anything.
Yet when it comes to scaring the Phenom, it's cucumbers of all things, that chill him to the bone.
Whilst it's unclear how this phobia started, plenty of superstars have gotten the best of the Deadman, exploiting this.
Speaking to Jim Cornette, the Deadman's former manager Paul Bearer said how this fear has caused him to be physically ill.
"I saw The Undertaker throw up all over a waffle house because there was a cucumber floating in his iced tea.”
The fear was also exploited by notorious prankster Owen Hart, according to Bruce Prichard.
"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.”
The Undertaker's celebrity housemates
Outside of the WWE, The Undertaker, like all of us, needs to sleep. And when you're a legend and sure-fire Hall of Famer, you get to sleep well.
But in 2008, the Undertaker rented his house out to then Hollywood It-Couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Reports said the couple rented it, as Pitt was filming in the same state.
According to reports, the house included a gym, and full-size WWE Wrestling ring, which the duo's kids made use of.
The Under(par)taker
Contrary to popular belief, the Undertaker does not spend his off-time building coffins, preparing funerals or harvesting the souls of darkness.
Instead, he plays golf.
In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, he admitted that he loves the game, even if he's not that great.
"I spend a lot of time with my family, my children. I also work on my horrible golf game. I love golf, but I’m awful. For some reason, I go out there and make myself miserable because I’m so bad it."
The Bone Street Krew
The Kliq are one of the most legendary groups in Wrestling history. The real-life friends of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman blurred the lines between reality and fiction in the now-infamous 'MSG Incident'.
But the Deadman had his own group, though slightly less impressive.
Aligning himself with Yokozuna, Savio Vega, Rikishi, the Godfather and the Godwinn Brothers, the Undertaker proved his allegiance, getting a large tattoo of 'BSK' across his abdomen.
Apparently, the group got their name from Yokozuna, as the guys would play dominoes (bones) backstage. Not exactly the hardcore, rock 'n roll lifestyle you'd expect.
He gave his blessing to Triple H
The careers of Triple H and the Undertaker are intertwined, with the two scheduled to face off at WWE Super Show-Down, over 20 years after their first match.
During the late 90s/early 00s, Triple H began a relationship with Stephanie McMahon. The decision to date the boss' daughter made the Game an easily hated person, both to fans and backstage.
Seeing the Deadman as a locker room leader, Triple H reportedly asked him what he should do. According to the WWE's 2015 Attitude Era book, the Undertaker asked the future COO whether he was willing to risk everything he'd done for her. When Triple H said yes, the Undertaker said the relationship was fine and was it was Triple H and Stephanie's business, and no one else's.
He defended the boss
Just like how the Undertaker and Triple H are connected, so is the Undertaker and Vince McMahon. The two imposing men have both sided together and feuded, with the deadman being buried alive by the boss at the 2003 Survivor Series (albeit with help from Kane).
But despite being the Boss, McMahon is still 'one of the guys' and isn't opposed to some fun. In 2000, McMahon was able to take down Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle backstage. Wanting revenge, Angle wanted to take Vince down and saw his chance, which happened to be near a sleeping Deadman.
The noise of the takedown woke the Undertaker, and seeing his boss being pinned to the mat, he leapt onto Angle, nearly punishing him, before McMahon told him it was all in good fun.
