Ric Flair DVD question

I just got my copy in the mail and the video is looking grainy! This is the second time a WWE DVD looks that way for me!!

http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=333351

And both were ordered from DDD! How does everyone else's Flair DVD look on screen?

Maybe it's because the matches were from the 80s?

OR MAYBE THEY WEREN'T GRAINY AT ALL, AND VINCE CENSORED THEM BY PUTTING GRAIN ON THEM TO MAKE THEM LOOK OLDER THAN THEY ARE. CALL THE POLICE! MISSING! ONE CORRECT, UNCENSORED RIC FLAIR DVD SET!

The RR and HHH matches are not from the 80s. I checked 2 of the discs.

The Royal Rumble was still over ten years old. And wrestling matches have never been up to par with digital quality of an epic movie, Pixar movie, or any other great quality transfer on DVD that you might have been spoiled by.

Well my other wrestling DVDs look fine, including Mick Foley Hard Knocks and Cheap Pops and Divas Undressed which I viewed a couple of days ago. See the screenshot in the other thread to see the graininess in No Mercy to know what I mean.

You have to consider the source material that these DVDs were created from. Half of the footage is from many years ago and also considering that it's from TV footage I wasn't expecting any killer A/V. Hell I'm happy to have ANY of this footage available to me on DVD.

It looked fine to me. Due to the age of some of the footage I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleased. Maybe it's your DVD player.

Looked better than my 10 year old VHS tape of RR 92.

Another complaint I have is that the discs are ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE!! What the hell were they thinking?? It’s even worse than Black Hawk Down SE!! It seem we need to store them in seperate cases to prevent them from breaking every time we try and remove them!

How do I know this would end up with another packaging complaint?

The set looked fine to me.
