Willie had over thirty-five witnesses who put their signatures to an affidavit claiming to have seen every moment of the run including the official and the attorney putting the affidavit together. Many more viewpoints than any video. There were certainly more witnesses that didn't claim to see every moment. Some overlap so there were probably more witnesses to every moment, just not the same witness start to finish. Willie's run would stand up in a court of law, as an exhibition and as a run of the alleged number of balls in a single run.
These other "runs" are impressive but I don't think they would stand up in a court of law as an exhibition or a run of the number of balls claimed under the rules of straight pool. If anyone cared enough to defend Willie's record they probably could, as it remaining the straight pool high run in an exhibition.
