Video game rumours were rampant before you could research them on the internet to learn 99% of them were absolute crap. This was frustrating with Mortal Kombat since the rumour hill was strong and constant with this franchise.

For years, there were whispers you could play as Goro. Fans theorised that there were secret Fatalities you could perform if you completed very specific criteria. There was also a rumour you could make your character take off their clothes to perform a Nude-ality. (Yes, that is an actual thing people believed.)

There was one rumour which sounded so stupid, most gamers dismissed it instantly; you could fight a T-1000 version of Goro. As absurd as this sounds, there is some truth to it. If you perform Raiden's Fatality on the last fighter in the third Endurance round, a glitchy silver version of Goro will appear. Since Terminator 2 only came out the previous year, players compared the sub-boss to the T-1000, branding him as T-1000 Goro. Even when players insisted this rumour was true, most people didn't believe it until they saw it for themselves.
