Well, as a newbie, here is the best advice you will get here...

Use the search box and in legals. type in "tradmark" and read for a week, then type in "tm" and read teh posts you may have missed. And in this case, then type in "celebs" and read posts right up this alley.

The 2 domains you have registered are infringing on TMs.

With AJ, there are 2 ways to handle it, 1- as a true fansite. This means you don't make a penny from the site. This does not mean you don't make a profit, it means zero revenue. Fansites are protected if done properly. 2- looking for the payoff from the domain - this will be viewed cybersqatting. If challenged, they will prove you are attempting to profit off of his TM. Juding by your post, it seems you are headed down path #2. Don't worry, we all have done it when we started. Just be careful, there can be severe penalties associated with squatting.

As far as ROHtickets, ROH (Ring of Honor) is a TM. Attempting to profit for a TM is bad fatih usage. If challenged, you will more than likely lose the domai.

Like I said, we have all taken that path, but learn now and save yourself time, money and headaches.
