context_page_description: Sacrifice (2008) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling promotion that took place on May 11, 2008 at the TNA Impact! Zone in Orlando, Florida. It was the fourth event in the Sacrifice chronology and fifth event in the 2008 TNA PPV schedule. Ten professional wrestling matches, two for championships, were featured on the card.
  The main event was a Three Way match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship between then-champion Samoa Joe and challengers Kaz and Scott Steiner. The match was initially promoted as Joe's defense of his title against Kurt Angle and Steiner. However, Angle sustained an injury before the match that removed him from the bout; he was replaced with Kaz. Joe won the match, retaining the championship. The Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament for the vacant TNA World Tag Team Championship was also held at Sacrifice. The Latin American Xchange defeated Team 3D in the Finals to win the tournament and the championship.
context_section_description: The decision to remove Kurt Angle from the Sacrifice main event was not made until the day of the show. Angle was expected to be sidelined for at least one month, putting TNA's original plan, a match between him and A. J. Styles at Slammiversary, in jeopardy. Scott Steiner received an unspecified injury at Sacrifice.
  Following Sacrifice, Samoa Joe defended the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against four other competitors in a King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary. The match was announced on the May 15 episode of Impact! by Joe. Booker T, Christian Cage, James Storm, Matt Morgan, Rhino, Robert Roode, Styles, and Tomko competed in qualification matches for the contest on the May 22 and May 29 Impact! episodes; Booker T, Cage, Rhino, and Roode qualified. Kevin Nash was named Special Guest Ringside Enforcer on the May 29 episode of Impact!. Joe retained the championship at Slammiversary.
  The Latin American Xchange (Hernandez and Homicide) and Team 3D (Brother Devon and Brother Ray) began a rivalry after Sacrifice over the TNA World Tag Team Championship. On the May 15 episode of Impact!, Team 3D attacked LAX's manager Hector Guerrero. Management Director Jim Cornette announced a rematch for the title at Slammiversary between the two teams on the May 29 episode of Impact!. LAX were the victors in the contest at Slammiversary, retaining the championship.
  On the May 22 episode of Impact!, Styles fought Booker T in a King of the Mountain qualifier. After the bout, Booker T, Team 3D, and Tomko assaulted Styles until Angle came to his defense. However, Angle soon turned on Styles, striking him with a steel chair and continuing the assault with Booker T, Team 3D, and Tomko. This set up a match between Styles and Angle at Slammiversary, announced by Cornette on the May 29 episode of Impact!. Styles defeated Angle at Slammiversary.
  After Sacrifice, Roxxi Laveaux shortened her name to Roxxi. Gail Kim was given a TNA Women's Knockout Championship match against then-champion Awesome Kong on the May 15 episode of Impact!. Kim lost the bout after interference from Angelina Love. The team of Kim, ODB, and Roxxi defeated The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Velvet Sky) and Moose in a Six Woman Tag Team match at Slammiversary.
  The new number one contender to the TNA X Division Championship, Kaz, was given a title match against then-champion Petey Williams at Slammiversary. Kaz, however, lost the encounter. TNA later renamed the TerrorDome to the "Steel Asylum" when it was used on October 12, 2008 at their Bound for Glory IV PPV event.
  In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.
