The Undertaker's legendary career is built on fear. However, a childhood incident with cucumbers remains the WWE icon's greatest real-life nightmare.

On June 25, 2024, the YouTube channel named “CVV CLIPS” posted a short video titled “Undertaker Explains Why He Hates Cucumbers.” In the video, while speaking about his manager, Paul Bearer, the Hall of Famer said, “Paul was evil. Boy, he was a practical joker.”

He further explained his hatred of cucumbers and said, “I think I was in kindergarten, maybe first grade. I'd come home from school, and my mom had cut up a bunch of fresh cucumbers and had them soaking in vinegar. 

I eat this bowl of cucumbers, and I get so sick. I... Puked my guts out. And from that moment on, for years, I couldn't, if I even smelled a cucumber, I would get nauseous.”

Back to the story of Bearer, Undertaker once went to a restaurant with Bryan Adams and Bearer. He remembers that after ordering the food, he went to take a phone call, and when he came back, he saw “both of them just look like two little angels sitting there.”

After that, to avoid seeming paranoid to their friends, the WWE wrestler grabs his iced tea, drinks it, and sees a perfectly flat cucumber at the bottom of the glass, placed there by Bearer, who says, “Oh, I put a cucumber.”

This childhood memory of a cucumber makes him hate cucumbers, but aside from that, there are certain foods that the “Texas Red” loves to eat. 

Food items loved by The Undertaker

The 6’10” former WWE wrestler loves to eat a lot of food. On August 14, 2023, the YouTube channel “MrSantiZap” shared a video in which the host revealed the favorite foods of several WWE superstars. 

In the video, he shared that the Undertaker's favorite food is steak. Apart from this, according to Dr. Roto, the 4-time WWE champion's other favorite food item is crawfish boils.  

In fact, in a video shared by the “First We Feast” channel on YouTube on November 19, 2020, the 7-time World Heavyweight champion said he “likes spicy food” and listed items such as:

• Crawfish boils
• Sausages
• Shrimp 

In the video, he also sees himself eating wings with a variety of spicy sauces and answering the host's questions.
