Sounds like the Terrordome is going to just be a spotty X Division type of match, which is fun, but not the best way to introduce a new gimmick match.
To do it, you need to have a strong feud leading into the match. For example, Hell in a Cell had Taker vs. Shawn. Ultimate X was originally centered around a great three way feud between Sabin,Kaz, and Bentley. Elevation X actually served as the perfect way to end AJ vs. Rhino given the way their feud was. And even the five man King of the Mountain was created out of chaos as their were five men who had a legitamate claim to the title:
1) Killings was the current champ after defeating AJ.
2) AJ was the former champ, wanted a rematch
3) Harris was supposed to face Jarrett for the title, but was put out by Raven, and AJ stepped in to win the title.
4) Raven felt he should have gotten the title shot at Jarrett when Harris was pulled out.
5) Jarrett never got a rematch after losing to AJ.
So in that insanity, it all made sense to have this kind of match.
There isn't any reason to have a match like the Terrordome other than craming guys onto the card.
Hopefully the match delivers inspite of these issues.
This PPV is going to be awesome. We always put on great PPVs and this one should be no different. Samoa Joe has a tough first test against veteran guys like Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner. I think he'll retain the title but it's tough to tell.
The Deuces Wild Tag Tournament is crazy. I mean Awesome Kong wrestling with the guys? THAT-IS-AWE-SOME! I hope she wins the titles because that would be a huge statement for TNA.
The TerrorDome is going to be awesome as well. I hope the Motor City Machine Guns are in it because they rule.
Everyone on the line about ordering this PPV should cross that line because it's TNA and you know we always put on the best PPVs ever.

[spoiler] that means 3D will probably go into the semi final as Sting and Storm won't be able to work together. [/spoiler]
For Deuces are Wild, they NEED to team up Kong and Roode. Play up how Roode mistreated Brookes and Sharmell, and sortof manipulated Banks. It could be an interesting angle.

Scott Steiner vs Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe(c)-Joe retains after either AJ or Tomko interfering and distracting Angle while Joe pins Steiner or makes him tap out.
TNA Knockouts Battle Royal
Angelina Love vs Velvet Sky vs ODB vs Gail Kim vs Tracy Brooks vs Ms. Jackie vs Salinas vs Roxxi vs Christy-It comes down to Gail and ODB in the ladder match, Gail wins the title and ODB gets her head shaved.
Terrordome Match
Sabin vs Shelley vs Dutt vs Rave vs Curryman vs Sharkboy vs Creed vs Kaz vs Lethal vs Devine-Kaz is about do for a X title shot, I say he wins it while Dutt/Lethal argue or something like that.
Deuces Wild Tournament
Kind of hard to predict this since we don't know the match, but I'll do my best.
Quarterfinals
LAX vs BG/Kong
Morgan/Kip Cage/Rhino
Sting/Storm vs Team 3D
AJ/Eric vs Roode/Booker
Semifinals
LAX vs AJ/Eric
Team 3D vs Cage/Rhino
Finals
Cage/Rhino vs LAX
I also think a 3 way final is possible where one of the 1st round matches ends in a double dq or a no contest or something, especially if their running short on time after the 1st 3 1st round matches.
Edit: Everyone is talking about how there is gonna be 10 matches on the card, well remember that last year's show had 9 and it was incredible.(7 of the 9 matches were ***+ IMO)

OK The Terrordome will actually take place at Sacrifice and will feature 10 X Division Guys fighting for a title shot.
My predictions for the show:
TNA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
"The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle vs. "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner w/Rhaka Khan
- There is no way in hell Joe is losing the title just one month after winning it. Joe is keeping the gold, but this match will be fun. You might just see every kind of suplex you can possibly imagine in this one. They should just rename this match "Super Suplex Mania!"
THE TERRORDOME: WINNER GETS X DIVISION TITLE SHOT
"Black Machismo" Jay Lethal vs. "Guru" Sonjay Dutt vs. Chris Sabin vs. Alex Shelley vs. Kaz vs. Curry Man vs. Shark Boy vs. Jimmy Rave vs. Johnny Devine vs. Consequences Creed
- I wish they had centered the debut of this match around a hot feud like they did for their first cage match (AMW vs. XXX) their first Six Sides of Steel (AMW/Naturals), their first Ultimate X (Sabin, Kaz, Bentley) and their first Elevation X (AJ/Rhino) But the structure definately looks cool and giving this kind of bout to the X Division is the right thing to do. I'm going to pick Lethal to win it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they gave it to either Curry Man or Kaz either. Nice to see Kaz working in the X Division again.
KNOCKOUTS' MAKEOVER BATTLE ROYAL/LADDER MATCH: WINNER GETS KNOCKOUT TITLE SHOT, RUNNER UP GETS HER HEAD SHAVED
Gail Kim vs. ODB vs. "The Voodoo Queen" Roxxy Lavaeux vs. Traci Brooks vs. Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky vs. Christy Hemme vs. "The Pride of Tennessee" Jackie Moore vs. Salinas vs. Rhaka Khan
I'm looking forward to seeing the Ladder match portion of it. Gail Kim should be able to shine in a ladder match and to be honest, the Knockout Division has been doing so well, that I think its great that they are letting them try a ladder match. I'm going to pick Gail Kim to win the match and Angelina Love to get her head shaved.
and of course the major reason to check out Sacrifice:
DEUCES WILD TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT
LAX, Christian/Rhino, Team 3D, AJ Styles/Super Eric, James Storm/Sting, Kip James/Matt Morgan, and two more teams made up of Robert Roode, Booker T, BG James, and Awesome Kong.
So far TNA has already let out that Sting/James Storm vs. Team 3D will open the PPV. As far as ordering the matches goes, I would do the first round of the tourney, do the Knockout match, then do the second round, then the Terrordome, then the finals, and then the main event.
The winners of the tourney will be either LAX or Christian/Rhino. Christian/Rhino will face and defeat Team 3D at some point, maybe in the second round or possibly the finals. I don't expect any of the Four egotistical 8 teams to get very far. You might see one of the teams advance into the semi finals and that will be it. And of course a major reason to tune in is to see how Awesome Kong does in there with the men. Lots of intrigue there.
Anyways, Sacrifice looks like a really fun card. I'm tuning in just for the tag team tourney.
Sonjay Dutt should win the terrordome. Then next week on Impact Black Machismo brings up the fact that he never got his rematch for the title. So cornette books a triple threat for Slammiversary Sonjay vs. Machismo vs. Petey for the X-Division title!!!
