Why did Bobby Fish kick up out of the GTS on Dynamite?  Why did the referee count three?

The referee counted three because that was the finish.  Why Fish kicked out the finish is a great question.  My initial thought was that perhaps he had been knocked loopy during the spot and made a mistake but when I asked, I was told he was fine after the bout and was OK.  So, either he made a genuine mistake and the referee kept going or he kicked up early so he didn't look weak, which is something wrestlers used to do a generation ago in order to give themselves an "out."  I can't say that Fish did that here, but if he did, he ended up undercutting one of the most important wrestlers in the company and should be told that under no circumstances that he should ever do that again, in my opinion.

There was a rumor online that Charlotte was going to be added to the Women's bout at Crown Jewel, but it never happened.  Any idea why?

She was never slated to travel to that event, so whatever rumor that was floating around that you are referring to was baseless.

In the Dark Side of the Ring documentary, there was reference to the NWO ruining the Blood Runs Cold stuff in WCW.  Was this a case of politics ruining plans and careers?

 No.  If you remembered, they were running the promos teasing all the Blood Runs Cold stuff for some time.  What happened is the NWO completely changed the landscape.  The Blood Runs Cold stuff debut kept getting pushed back because WCW management rightfullly didn't want it to be overshadowed by the NWO. As it turned out, the hype became too much and the eventual debut was indeed a big letdown in comparison to the NWO.

Who played the Demon for Impact Wrestling at Bound for Glory?

It was the same person who played it for most of the WCW run, Dale Torborg, who replaced the late Bryan Adams in the role.

Are all the Impact PPVs going live again?

The Turning Point PPV on November 20th will be.  We haven't heard beyond that for the Impact+ presentations, but obviously the quarterly cornerstone PPVs have been and will remain live broadcasts.

I remember years ago, it was said Bret Hart's ex-wife Julie was writing a book.  Did it ever come out?

Yes, Julie wrote a book about her relationship and life with Bret, Hart Strings.  You can order it at this link.

There was once talk of a WWE Hall of Fame or something of that nature being built somewhere.  Is there a chance of such a project possibly becoming reality?

They have been interested in doing it off and on, but whether it actually happens or not, we will see.   I think if a major market donated land to the company and gave them a massive tax break, the company would at least explore the idea.
