Press release

October 2, 2026. PWFT (Pro Wrestling Federation Tracker), the fantasy-booking app for running your own wrestling universe, today announced CreatorMania, a one-night showcase celebrating the creators behind the wrestling game community. The show premieres live on YouTube on a date to be announced, and it marks the launch of 
CreatorMania is not a crossover e-fed show. It is a celebration of the people who build what fans see: CAW makers, texture and attire artists, moveset builders, arena designers, graphic designers, e-fed bookers, commentators and video editors. Every entrance on the show carries an on-screen credit, and the night closes with a full credit roll.
"I want to give as many people in this space their shine as possible."
Joe LaRocca, President of PWFT
The night
- It premieres live on YouTube, so the whole community watches it together as it airs.
- Roughly two and a half hours, pre-recorded, with the hosts on camera between the action.
- The show opens with a timed-entry rumble.
- Each match comes with a pre-match promo made by the e-fed behind it and its editing team.
- Where a normal show has ad breaks, CreatorMania hands the screen to the community, with showcase breaks and spotlight spots where promotions show what they are building.
- 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 back to the creators in it.
The hosts
Joey Echevarria, Nationally Syndicated Radio Personality and Entertainment Journalist, hosts alongside Joe LaRocca, President and head designer of PWFT.
Music, done right
Hopespeak joins CreatorMania as its official music partner. Every creator on the card gets access to the Hopespeak discography for their entrances, promos and packages. Every song in the show is either royalty-free or from the Hopespeak library. No licensed music. No AI-generated music. Read about the partnership.
Why a show, and why now
PWFT started as a Universe Mode tracker. As people began using it to track their e-feds and their CAWs, the scene behind those characters came into view: people who make textures, attires and movesets, designers who build the brands, and people who live the gimmick online. CreatorMania is built to give that scene a stage.
"These people are so talented, and they deserve a stage. We want to give it to them. Nobody has done a show like this in this space, so we are all figuring it out together."
Joe LaRocca, President of PWFT
Get on the card
Applications are open to creators and e-feds on the CreatorMania application page. Every participant becomes an inaugural PWFTxCreator, with their work credited on screen by name and a world of their own on the CreatorMania site.
