How do you get snuck up on in a arena full of people. Also the Earthrealm fighters were looking at Kung Lao the entire time and they didn't see Shao Kahn at all? Unless he blinked behind him, you would see the giant barbarian man walking b behind Kung Lao. Weird.

If Liu Kang is the Shawn Michaels of Mortal Kombat, then Kung Lao is the Marty Jannetty! And Shang Tsung is that Barber Shop Window!

In fact here's everyone Kung Lao should hang out with in the Shang Tsung victims club. Stryker, Kenshi, Quan Chi, Raiden, Fujin, and Nightwolf.

Kung Lao's whole purpose is to take the L when Liu Kang can't
