of not knowing," Harrington said. "It was just nice to have some resolve to it, some closure to it."
McMahon indicated he was not entirely surprised by Mariucci''s decision.
"That''s the situation," he said. "Ever since I''ve been in Detroit, it hasn''t been the greatest ride but you just keep on fighting, you keep on plugging away and hopefully things will work out in the end."

Harrington was asked if the wait for Mariucci''s decision had humbled him.
