Chikara had grown as an independent professional wrestling promotion and sought to expand its reach by staging its first ever live pay-per-view broadcast, capitalizing on the emerging internet pay-per-view market to reach fans beyond its live audience.
High Noon took place on November 13, 2011, at the Asylum Arena in Philadelphia. The event was headlined by a tournament final to crown the first ever Chikara Grand Champion, aired live on GoFightLive, and drew 864 fans to set a new Chikara attendance record.
The event surpassed Ring of Honor's previous iPPV record of 972 buys with over 1,000 online purchases, establishing Chikara's viability in the pay-per-view market. A DVD release followed on November 25, 2011, through Smart Mark Video, extending the event's reach further.
