IS THE UNDERTAKER FROM THE WWE AFRAID OF CUCUMBERS?
The ‘Deadman’, the ‘Phenom’, a hall of famer in the WWE. Who would have guessed his biggest weakness would be a cucumber?!
Whilst the Undertaker has himself said he doesn’t have a phobia of cucumbers, many people including his wife, Michelle McCool, say otherwise.
In a podcast, Michelle has said, “he hates cucumbers…we can’t even have one in the room.” and that their daughter will sometimes hide cucumbers under the pillow when it’s his birthday in an attempt to scare the deadman.
Paul Bearer, a man who worked closely with The Undertaker for many years, confirmed in an interview in 2013 that “he cannot stand cucumbers… I saw the Undertaker throw up all over a waffle house because there was a cucumber floating in his ice tea.”
Michelle says it’s due to him having eaten cucumbers as a child and then being sick.
According to a few sources, Bret Hart knew about The Undertaker’s fear of cucumbers, so one time when they fought, Bret concealed cucumber slices in his tights, and then told The Undertaker during the fight that he had them on him. Quite the move, Bret.
