SUMMARY
- The Undertaker has an unusual fear of cucumbers.
- The Deadman recently opened up about his fear.
Mark William Calaway, also known as The Undertaker, is an extremely popular name in the pro wrestling world. He can often be seen making sporadic appearances in the largest wrestling promotion in the world. However, he was previously an active member of the WWE roster.
During that time, The Undertaker contributed a lot to the success of the company. He participated in many storylines and feuds and also won many championships. Not to mention, he has also been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2022.
With that, Taker has gained a lot of popularity among the fans. He has a huge fanbase that always looks forward to new updates about him. Meanwhile, his beloved fans might be surprised to know that the 6’10” tall WWE legend has a bizarre fear of cucumbers.
What did The Undertaker say about his fear of cucumbers?
During The Undertaker’s recent Patreon Q&A, he was questioned about the origin of his fear of cucumbers. To this, Taker replied, “Why do you give me some bullshit question like that? I don’t even like talking about the cucumbers man.”
He then mentioned that one day, when he was in the first grade, his mother “had taken a bunch of fresh cucumbers and cut them up into slices and had them soaking in a big bowl of vinegar.” However, what Taker did was gulp the entire bowl of cucumbers soaked in vinegar. Soon after, he threw up. Since then, the smell and sight of cucumbers have made him “queasy.”
The Deadman stated that he once ate too many cucumbers, which left a “horrible scar” in his memory of how badly he threw up. He explained that this is why he “hates cucumbers.” The WWE legend further mentioned that whenever he orders sushi, he asks if he can get it without the cucumbers.
The Undertaker has finally explained his fear of cucumbers, “do not put cucumber in my sushi”:

However, Taker said that if he mistakenly gets a cucumber in his mouth, it won’t be a good day at the sushi restaurant. He stated that he tries to be as level-headed as he can be, but no one should put cucumber in his sushi, especially when he mentioned that he doesn’t want cucumber in his sushi.
Thus, it can be understood that The Deadman’s fear of cucumbers arose from a bad childhood experience. With that, it is now to be seen if The Undertaker will have anything else to comment on the matter in the upcoming days.
The Undertaker’s wife previously opened up about his fear of cucumbers
Previously, The Undertaker’s wife, Michelle McCool, appeared for an interview on The Wives of Wrestling podcast. During that, she opened up about her husband’s unusual fear of cucumbers. She said, “He hates cucumbers…we can’t even have one in the room.”
McCool says that every birthday, their daughter gets cucumbers. Then she would put them under Taker’s pillow and in his car. Taker’s wife added that he can’t even stand the smell of it. Finally, she stated, “He ate so many cucumbers one day that he got sick. And ever since then, it’s just game over.”
