I think it's difficult to judge how two guys are feeling emotionally based on a 5 minute athletic exhibition. Nitro and Mercury haven't been in the company very long and perhaps weren't very close to Eddie personally. I'm sure they were still feeling some sort of shock and emotion. Have you ever worked in an office where someone died and you weren't particularly close to them but you see the reactions of those who were? It's still a lousy day for you. You still pick up the phone and go about business as usual but you aren't feeling particularly good. You are thinking about things beyond "business as usual" but in a setting where you are expected to go about 'business as usual'.

Damn, can I ever relate to that!
When I was in college, I worked at a grocery store and had to work a Friday night shift the night one of our employees (a woman who'd worked there for years, but who I barely knew because we were on different shifts) had been shot in the parking lot earlier that day (she lived, though).
All I can say is, I feel sorry for anyone in that company who worked that show yesterday. My hat's off to their sheer professionalism. Its easy to forget that show was taped just hours after they got the news.
