Official music partner of CreatorMania. Their discography is open to every creator on the card

  • Music

Hopespeak is a pop-punk band from Long Island: Johnny Aprigliano, Chris Arnold, Steve Hollwedel, George Monez and Chris Pulomena. Since forming in 2021, they have been blending the 2000s pop-punk and post-hardcore they grew up on with the sound of modern midwest emo.

What sets them apart is how they bring those generations of pop-punk together, and who they write for: the room. Every song is built around how it feels to play live, so a Hopespeak show is something the crowd is part of, not just something it watches.

In their words: honest, relatable, and loud. "We're the Beatles for people who hate themselves."

What is one thing about the wrestling game creative scene you wish more people knew?

Even if you don't have any real interest in wrestling, genuinely give an e-fed a try. Having a character that you came up with, someone that you can root for, be upset for, and celebrate their victories for is just really fun.

For some you don't even need the game. They'll help design the character that you want. It's definitely worth the time and effort.

What is one thing about the wrestling game creative scene you wish more people knew?

I wish more players realized that modern wrestling game creation suites aren't just wrestler customizers; they are full-scale sandboxes. From custom entrances and championship belts to completely original arenas and movesets, the only real ceiling is your own imagination.

How CreatorMania works

The journey

  1. Step 01 / The scene

    Built in pockets

    CAW makers, modders, graphic designers, e-feds and everyone in between, each building on their own and finding each other in pockets of X, Reddit, Instagram, YouTube and Discord.

    Who's in the scene

  2. Step 02 / The night

    One night. Everyone.

    CreatorMania is the one place that brings them all together. One show built to give as many people in this space their shine as possible, every one of them credited by name.

  3. Step 03 / The show

    How it plays

    Every match is produced by a different e-fed in its own style, some simulated, some played by hand. Interviews and promo packages run in between, and a full credit roll closes the night.

    Apply to be on the card

  4. Step 04 / The spirit

    Everyone shines

    A showcase, not a competition. Every creator on the card gets their moment, and every name is credited.

    Roll the credits

  5. Step 05 / The after

    It outlives the night

    Every segment is cut into its own video and handed back to the creators in it. CreatorMania brings everyone together. PWFTxCreators is what keeps them together.

FAQ

When is it?

The date is not locked yet. We will announce it here first. Leave your email and we will tell you the moment it is set.

Is it a competition?

No. There is no tournament, no bracket, and nobody is booked to lose to a rival. It is a showcase.

How do I get on the card?

Creators and e-feds apply on the "Get on the card" page. It explains what being part of the show asks of you and what you get. Every participant joins the inaugural class of PWFTxCreators.

What music can I use?

Every song in CreatorMania is either royalty-free or from the Hopespeak library. No licensed music. No AI-generated music. Every creator on the card gets the full Hopespeak discography to work with. Musicians are creators too. Using licensed songs without permission takes from artists and gets videos pulled. AI-generated music takes from them in a different way. So every song on the show is either free to use or comes from a band that said yes.

Where can I watch?

Live on YouTube. CreatorMania premieres live, so the whole community watches it together as it airs. Subscribe on YouTube and you will be there when it starts. After the premiere, the full show stays up on YouTube and goes out on X, and every segment is cut into its own video and handed to the creators in it.

Who hosts it?

Joey Echevarria, Nationally Syndicated Radio Personality and Entertainment Journalist, and Joe LaRocca, President of PWFT.

How long is the show?

Roughly two and a half hours. It is pre-recorded and premieres live on YouTube, with the hosts on camera between the action.

What is PWFT?

PWFT (Pro Wrestling Federation Tracker) is a fantasy-booking app for running your own wrestling universe. It hosts CreatorMania. PWFTxCreators is the creator directory that launches with the show. There is more on the About PWFT page, including how to help it grow.
