Turning Point 2004 was promoted by TNA on Fox Sports Net's The Best Damn Sports Show Period as part of a special billed as "The Best Damn Wrestling Event Period". During the event, among other matches, Chris Sabin won his shot at Petey Williams in Ultimate X5.

Before the main event of Turning Point 2004, footage filmed at Universal Studios Orlando showing several TNA wrestlers (Shane Douglas, Abyss, Traci Brooks, B.G. James, Konnan, and Ron Killings) "invading" a commercial shoot for World Wrestling Entertainment's upcoming Royal Rumble 2005 PPV, which was filmed in Orlando. All WWE performers filmed were blurred out to preclude legal action from WWE.

Throughout Turning Point 2004, several vignettes aired showing two people, TNA employee Tim Welch and an unknown actor, dressed as WWE personalities Vince McMahon and Triple H searching for the footage to the "Cookie Incident" backstage. They found a tape, which "Triple H" destroyed with his trademark sledgehammer, but the tape turned out to be "The Best of D-Ray 3000" (a TNA jobber). Later that evening, "Vince" was injured by a midget who hit him with a cookie tray (the TNA wrestlers who had invaded the WWE video shoot had brought cookies and balloons as welcoming gifts). As "Vince" was loaded into an ambulance, "Triple H" asked his "daddy" what he should do (Triple H is McMahon's son-in-law, a position which has in the past led to accusations of nepotism).

During the Six Sides of Steel Tag Team main event, Elix Skipper performed a cagewalk rana on Chris Harris. This match illicited not only the usual chants of "holy shit" and "this is awesome" from the typically excitable Orlando crowd, but also chants of "please don't die" and "Best Match Ever". At Slammiversary on June 19, 2005, the move was declared the greatest moment in TNA history to date.

Aside from the event DVD, The Kings of Wrestling vs. Styles/Hardy & Savage match can be seen on The Best of Jeff Hardy. The XXX/AMW cage match is on The Best of Christopher Daniels, as well as The Best of The Bloodiest Brawls.
