The ongoing drama between Hulk Hogan and Scott Steiner is now involving attorneys and Hogan's daughter, Brooke.

Steiner tweeted Tuesday night that he recently received a letter from Hogan's attorneys telling him they are aware of his series of disparaging tweets aimed at Hogan and Eric Bischoff. Hogan replied that the attorneys were from TNA.

Steiner tweeted: "Havent tweeted lately bcuz I got a letter from a lawyer representing hogan n bitchoff basically saying they take my tweets seriously and if threats continue they will take to law enforcement....really hogan my tweets scare you, I've said worse in interviews on tv,LOL,I want to thank you bcuz your actions speak louder than any words that i could have spoken,sorry for scaring you maybe I will challenge you to a game of checkers."

Without naming Steiner by name, Hogan replied on Twitter: "Tried to be cool,not only a clown but also a liar.those weren't my lawyers they were TNA lawyers. Well I guess it's time to call my guys in, I really hope he saved his money or is making tons from the independents he's working because it's gonna get expensive, maby he's smart enough to at least figure it out when it starts getting real,what a shame,what a waste of a great talent, but u can't tell an idiot their an idiot. It's really sad when you really thought someone was really cool. HH"

Steiner also claimed that TNA has signed Brooke Hogan, who was at Tuesday's Impact TV tapings and has appeared several times during TNA broadcasts over the past few years. Steiner claimed the locker room is upset by Brooke signing. Brooke then posted a series of tweets Tuesday night that appeared to be directed toward Steiner.

Brooke tweeted: "A certain wrestler with a stupid mesh hat needs to #stfu. #1 stop overcompensating for your 'little' problem... #2 act like a damn gentleman #3 I'd 'make more money on my back' than you ever would in your whole career. Shut up. You look like a toddler. Ps: lol if he's such a big scary man don't block someone who's never tweeted you. Mind you I've only been kind to this completely incoherent shell of a man. You really need to call ppl out to get noticed?? ... Well you did and now everyone can see how desperate you truly are. Stop talking crap about my family. #turdclub"
