8 Wrestlers Who DESTROYED Their Own Aura

To analyse the aura of Chris Jericho shattering like the iconic glass sting of Steve Austin's entrance track, read what Jericho spewed out during a 2025 interview with Chris Van Vliet (H/T Inside The Ropes):

"I always love the concept of the Jericho Vortex and how anybody that works with me gets dragged down. Name one. Name one person that got dragged down from working with me."

"Name one", he decreed.

Ricky Starks, a surefire megastar of a babyface, was riddled with misdirection after working Chris in 2023, turning heel shortly after in a snap character change that never was explained.

Adam Cole's appalling chain of events in 2023 that culminated in his unveiling as The Devil was triggered by his feud with Jericho, which included their rotten Unsanctioned encounter from Double or Nothing.

HOOK, once a one-to-watch talent who showed great promise, struggled to preserve the same level of assertiveness in matches vs. Jericho, where sports entertainment buffoonery overshadowed gritty fighting.

Sammy Guevara's constant blowing hot and cold didn't end with him challenging - and beating - Jericho: it just ended.

Big Bill is over in The Learning Tree, but what's the blowoff? A loss to Chris Jericho on the Zero Hour of a B-level pay-per-view?

The Jericho Vortex indeed works - just not in the way that Jericho thinks.
