On Thursday, TNA announced the signing of five new talents for its main roster, and two of them are former NXT wrestlers.
Jesse Guilmette, Laura Dennis, Marshe Rockett, Thomas LaRuffa and Mikael Vierge were announced as the new signees in a release on the company’s website. LaRuffa is the real name of the wrestler known as Sylvester Lefort in NXT, and Vierge appears to be a new name selected for Pierre Marceau, who at one point teamed with LaRuffa in NXT under the name of Marcus Louis.

The two French wrestlers were released from NXT in February alongside Bull Dempsey. Dempsey has since worked in Combat Zone Wrestling.
Guilmette and Dennis, who are married, have wrestled in various independent promotions as Pepper Parks and Cherry Bomb. The same is true of Marshe Rockett, who picked up the nickname “Mr. M80” for his “explosive offensive ability,” according to the NXT release.
Rockett also reacted to the announcement on Twitter.
