00:00Welcome back to TMZ Live, a remarkable story about just how deep the rift was between members of Hulk Hogan's family.

00:11We know that Brooke Hogan was estranged from him for a while, and not necessarily only because of things that her relationship with him.

00:22It also had to do with her relationship with her mother, and also her relationship with people around her father.

00:27And what we, the story we broke yesterday.

00:30It was fractured for a couple of years.

00:31Yeah, and they started to, Brooke and Hulk started to get things, patch things together.

00:36But what we found out about Hulk's estate and where the money is going is pretty remarkable,

00:42because Brooke Hogan is not scheduled, at least on paper, to get anything, and she's fine with that.

00:50In fact, that was something that she wanted, because she just did not want to be in the middle of what she knew,

00:57and her estimation was going to end up being a big, you know, scrap over Hulk's money.

01:04Which is weird to me, because there isn't necessarily a big scrap if there is a proper estate plan.

01:12If a lawyer drafts the will in a way that it really can't be challenged, somebody can try.

01:18But it can be almost bulletproof.

01:21So that's why there's something about this where it feels like there's more.

01:25It feels like she knows something about the people.

01:28Maybe she knows who the executors are.

01:30Maybe she feels like the only reason for her to make that determination, I would think, is...

01:35Do we have any idea what Hulk was worth?

01:38I mean, is there an estimate on this?

01:40I'm sure there's one of those internet estimates, but...

01:44Yeah, let me look.

01:45The internet's saying he's worth around $25 million.

01:47I think it's more than that.

01:49Oh, it's definitely more than that.

01:50I mean, he's got beer companies.

01:52He had a lot of...

01:53And also, what he made as a...

01:56Oh, right.

01:56I think what his name is worth, just his name.

01:59Yeah, it's definitely got to be more than that.

02:01So I'm just not fully understanding why she...

02:04Why she did this?

02:05Well, why...

02:06Why she seems to think there's going to be a fight.

02:09Because you're right.

02:10If there is a proper will...

02:12Right.

02:12I mean, he's got a wife that he obviously married in 2023.

02:14Was not here for much of his life, right?

02:16She just came on the scene a couple of years ago.

02:18But if he chooses to change his will, and if he chooses to make her the wife, the beneficiary,

02:25that's his choice.

02:26Right.

02:26Absolutely.

02:27And he can do that.

02:28Yeah.

02:28I remember Harvey...

02:29But I mean, I don't know that he did that.

02:31No.

02:31But he can do that.

02:32But it would not shock me.

02:33I remember talking to him on the phone right after he got married.

02:36And he was so happy.

02:37He felt like he had gained a new family.

02:40And he was so just positive about the future.

02:43It would not shock me.

02:44So what was his beef with Brooke?

02:46Well, she says that her husband, Brooke's husband, had actually been talking to Hulk and trying

02:52to find a way to fix the relationship.

02:53What are you saying?

02:55So they hadn't talked for two years.

02:57They hadn't talked since 2023.

02:59It was the last conversation they ever had.

03:01And it was a phone conversation.

03:04And ultimately, they just never talked after that.

03:07And multiple times...

03:08So what I'm being told is it was a culmination of things over the years that built up.

03:12It wasn't some big fight.

03:14It was just a culmination of their relationship and all the stuff they've gone through.

03:17And ultimately, they...

03:19And the other big issue is I think she just had an issue with the people...

03:24No one specific, but just the people he had around him felt like at least her feelings

03:29were people were taking advantage of him and he didn't want to hear them.

03:32You can't say no one specific.

03:33She clearly...

03:34There are specific people.

03:35No, he has a lot of people around him.

03:36She hasn't named them, but she must have people in mind.

03:38Oh, yeah.

03:38I'm sure she knows.

03:40I don't know.

03:40That were the problem.

03:41But it sounds like she wanted him to slow down.

03:44Oh, that is a hundred...

03:45Yeah, but if you want somebody to slow down, you don't say I'm going to cut you off.

03:47Right.

03:47That's what doesn't make sense.

03:49Right.

03:49Ivor here from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

03:51I respect Brooke for stepping back.

03:54I think there's a really big expectation that when you are the daughter of a superstar

03:58like Hulk Hogan, there's a massive payout.

04:00Obviously, in the last few years of his life, they had not seen eye to eye and had a lot

04:05of challenges.

04:06And for her to pick peace over profit says a lot about her and her character.

04:10So, kudos to her.

04:11And I'm sorry for her loss at the same time.

04:13But for her to make this statement shows her integrity.

04:15Yeah, but I don't see the profit issue.

04:17He's right.

04:18It does show integrity, though.

04:19Because why would someone voluntarily say, I don't want any part of what is going to be

04:26that kind of money?

04:28Sometimes we get it.

04:29And sometimes we just don't get the real...

04:31I agree.

04:31We don't fully understand why.

04:33But I agree with what he's saying, that it does show integrity on her part to not want

04:38the money.

04:39Yeah.
