Paul Bearer, the late legendary manager of The Undertaker, revealed a few years ago during a shoot interview with Jim Cornette that The Deadman fears cucumbers!
Traveling around the world as stars of the World Wrestling Federation in the early 1990s, The Undertaker often traveled with his on-screen manager because it helped protect his mysterious gimmick. Being an old school wrestler, ‘Taker always protected kayfabe, and insisted on not being seen out of character. As such, whenever the duo traveled together, Bearer was always the one who had to get out and fill the tank with petrol.
One day when they stopped at a gas station to fill up, Bearer desperately needed to use the bathroom. The Undertaker showed no mercy and made his manager fill the tank first, which resulted in Bearer urinating his trousers. Undertaker found this hilarious and quickly spread the story to organization chief Vince McMahon and the locker room.
How did Bearer get his revenge on The Undertaker? Aware of his bizarre phobia of cucumbers, he proceeded to fill The Deadman’s hat with the vegetable, topping it up with the green substance right to the brim. When ‘Taker picked the hat up and caught sight of the cucumbers he legitimately freaked out and vomited.
Cornette asked Bearer why The Undertaker is repulsed by the sight of cucumbers. He responded that The Deadman has had this phobia since he was a child.
“I guess his mother made him eat them or something when he didn’t want to eat them and he just hates cucumbers,” said Bearer.
As long as he continues to wrestle, The Undertaker will continue to participate in autograph signings from time to time. With his bizarre phobia, it would be interesting to see how he would react to a fan bringing him a cucumber.
