The Olympics wrecked Greece like Gordon Ramsay wrecks the restaurants he visits on kitchen nightmares.

If you're struggling and you plan a big flashy show to save your economy, and it doesn't work, all your problems don't suddenly become the fault of the big flashy show you planned to fix them.

What's the evidence for this?

Every couple months it seems like I see another Facebook or Reddit post with the stat that 90% of the restaurants featured on kitchen nightmares go under within a year of their episode airing. As if a show that focuses on failing restaurants is somehow to blame when those restaurants fail.

It seemed like a good comparison for Greece and what they tried to do with the Olympics.

The OP is saying that Gordon Ramsay isn't to blame for whatever happens to restaurants after he leaves. The big show might not save Greece or the restaurant, but the original issue is not the big show's fault.
