In regards to how the recent WWE books have been selling, Triple H's "Making of the Game" book has sold over 19,000 copies, while WWE's "Are We There Yet" book has sold 10,000 copies. The same can't be said about some non-WWE related books. "Death of WCW" has sold 6,800 copies, Dusty Rhodes' new autobiography has sold 1,400 copies, Terry Funk's autobiography has sold close to 1,500 copies, Harley Race's book has sold 2,300 copies and Jimmy Hart's biography has only sold 750 copies.
750 copies?? Poor Jimmy Hart. That is a pathetic figure. I'm pretty sure that with proper shilling, marketing and distribution, my autobiography could push more units. I mean, 750 is REALLY bad, especially if you consider that probably 1/3 of those sales have probably been to Hart's family and friends.

I'm shocked Harley Race out sold Terry Funk...
I mean Race is a legend but I felt Funk would sell more due to his connections with Foley and the sucess of the Foley book...I think he needs Mick to shill it on RAW.

Hey RD! You sold more books than 4 wrestling legends
Also I'm assuming wannabe-bodybuilders bought HHH's book...Can't see many WWE fans wanting that

Funk & rhodes just recently released their books. That might be the reason they were out sold by harley.

Maybe they're just referring to the last x number of weeks or something, who knows... RD
