WWE Legend The Undertaker Reveals Origin Story Of Bizarre Phobia

WWE

WWE legend The Undertaker has revealed the origins of his bizarre aversion to cucumbers in a recent questions and answers session.

While it is long standing professional wrestling lore that the Undertaker is ‘afraid of cucumbers’, now the man himself has revealed the origin of his issues with the fruit.

Yes, because cucumbers have seeds in the middle and grow from a flowering plant, they are botanically a fruit and not a vegetable.

Never the less, in a Q&A on his Patreon, The Undertaker delved into the lore behind his phobia and gave the origin story of his hatred for cucumbers.

The Undertaker, who didn’t even want to have to talk about cucumbers, said:

“Why do you give me some bulls**t question like that? I don’t even like talking about the cucumbers man. Alright, here it is. When I was just a weeee little Undertaker, like a kindergarten, first grade Undertaker, I come home from school one day. My mother had taken a bunch of fresh cucumbers and cut them up into slices and had them soaking in a big bowl of vinegar. It was that day. [At that time] it was the greatest thing ever.

“So I proceeded to eat the whole bowl of cucumbers soaked in vinegar. Well, something about that didn’t settle well with my stomach. Shortly after I ate all of the cucumbers, I expelled all of the contents of my stomach. From that moment on, the smell, for a long time even to see a cucumber I would get somewhat, I wouldn’t say nauseous but queasy. Smell a cucumber? Forget about it. My stomach is just like [nope]…it’s like my mouth starts watering.”

However the bizarre aversion apparently led to some mischievous moments from another legendary WWE name, Paul Bearer.

Taker went on to say:

“The other part of that question, Did Paul Bearer [put cucumber in my boots]. Paul Bearer put cucumber in everything that I owned. Paul Bearer was evil, an evil evil man. Now I love him to death. I love him to death. I miss him every day. But the man was evil and was so much like, okay, you put them in my boots, ha ha ha. But he got to the point where that didn’t satisfy him enough.

So he would have to push the envelope to the point where I remember once getting up. I had to go to the restroom or whatnot. I come back and he’s sitting there and I could just tell by the look on his face that he had done something. Didn’t know what it was. [I] didn’t know that anything had been ordered that had cucumber in it. Anyway, I guess he went to the salad bar and got a slice of cucumber and somehow got it at the bottom of the glass of my iced tea.”

The Undertaker has recently shared what WWE star he believes should have been the one to end his long winning streak at WrestleMania.
