JBL took to Facebook today to announce that he and WWE have agreed to a deal that will bring him back full time to the announce team for Smackdown. JBL has been filling in on a continuing basis since Jerry "The King" Lawler had his heart attack in September, but he had not signed a full time deal until now. You can read JBL's post at http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=302144039901797&id=194176253533. [Thanks to ChrisGST of PWPonderings.com for the tip.]

Shore's Slant: This is only a surprise insofar as JBL had indicated in the past that he was happy not working for the company, but he explains very early in his post that he was having too much fun not to sign. He is still planning on finishing his mountain climbing challenge for his charity in Aruba.
