How does a 68 year old man last even 10 seconds with Ryan?

Steve Austin is a 6'2" monster. Danny Trejo is a 5'7" 68 year old chunky monkey. At one point in the fight he throws Austin across a table. I know it's scripted and all, but it's total crap. No way.

I agree that a guy with Trejo's age and physique shouldn't last too long against a guy like Austin, but if you take into account that he was an ex-con, biker gang leader with some fighting skills then it's not too far of a stretch.

A boat that floats on water can also sink in it.

Or you can look at it the other way. Austin is a tough SOB to be able to whip Machete's @ss like that.

Trejo didn’t looked 68, and the movie built him up as a tough fighter. Austin was weakened somewhat before that fight too.
