The Undertaker is well known for scaring the living wits out of people. However, The Phenom himself is scared of a very unusual object. It has been noted that the WWE Hall of Famer is indeed scared of cucumbers. The Deadman is afraid of cucumbers so much that; he once gagged when he spotted one.
Once, a particular incident occurred, when The Undertaker was freaked out by one of his close acquaintances. The act occurred as an act of revenge after he was embarrassed by The Undertaker in front of Vince McMahon. Ever since, the beginning of his career in WWE, The Undertaker was managed by Paul Bearer.
Bearer once revealed in a shoot interview with Jim Cornette about The Undertaker’s fear. He said the story went like this; both The deadman and Paul Bearer had to travel together because of kayfabe. And The Undertaker was an old-school guy, and to protect his character he would never go out in public.
One time, when both of them were traveling, they had to stop and refuel their car, and it was Bearer who had to refill it. But there was a problem, Bearer had to urinate as well. However, Undertaker barred Paul Bearer from urinating and ordered him to refuel the car first.
Eventually, Bearer could not hold it anymore, and wet his pants. The Deadman found that extremely funny and leaked the incident to Vince McMahon and the locker room. But Bearer was hell-bent on getting revenge, and so he did.
Already well-informed about The Undertaker’s fears, he filled The Phenom’s hat to the brim with cucumbers. Eventually, when he picked up his hat and saw the scene, he freaked out and gagged.
