There was an inspirational interview with Paul Williams on the Showtime broadcast before the main event. Williams stated that Doctor's told him they simply don't know if he can ever walk again and that his spinal cord was "bruised" but NOT severed or broken.

He firmly believes he will walk again in the next 2 years as that is the rough estimate he was given for possible recovery.

He also was in good spirits and joking and said he will live his life even if he cannot walk again.

God bless him.
