context_page_description: High Noon was a professional wrestling internet pay-per-view event produced by the Chikara promotion, that took place on November 13, 2011 at the Asylum Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The event marked Chikara's first ever live pay-per-view and it was headlined by the finals of a tournament to determine the first ever Chikara Grand Champion. The event aired on GoFightLive, with a pre-show airing live on Ustream. The event broke Chikara's attendance record, drawing 864 fans into the Asylum Arena, and drew more than 1,000 buys online, beating Ring of Honor's previous iPPV, Death Before Dishonor IX, which drew 972 buys. The event was released on DVD by Smart Mark Video on November 25, 2011.
context_section_description: The first match on the iPPV itself was a tag team match between Fire Ant and Soldier Ant of The Colony and Matt and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks, who were accompanied to the ring by one of their trainers, Marty Jannetty, who made his Chikara debut. Towards the end of the match, The Young Bucks performed double superkicks on both members of The Colony and then went for their finishing maneuver More Bang for Your Buck, which Soldier Ant managed to block with his knees, before rolling up Matt for the win. With the win, The Colony earned the right to challenge for the Campeonatos de Parejas.
  The second match on the iPPV saw Sara Del Rey facing former BDK stablemate, ring announcer Jakob Hammermeier, who performed his own ring announcement prior to the start of the match. Following a short, one-sided match, Del Rey pinned Hammermeier with the Royal Butterfly for the win.
  After a video package, which hyped the upcoming debut of "Mr. Touchdown", The Osirian Portal of Amasis and Ophidian made their way to the ring for Amasis' announcement regarding his future in professional wrestling. Amasis' announcement was that he could not wrestle again as his doctor had told him that by wrestling he would risk having to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. After recapping the history of The Osirian Portal and claiming that they were the best tag team in the world, Amasis called for the team's signature dance routine. However, Ophidian surprised Amasis with a mist and then attacked him. After unmasking his former partner, the now rudo Ophidian was led out of the ring by Chikara officials.
  The final match before intermission was a grudge match between Green Ant and Tursas, who was accompanied to the ring by the referee of the match, BDK member Derek Sabato. Towards the end of the match, Tursas hit Green Ant with a crossbody and a Kreuz Bomb, which resulted in a near-fall. After stopping his opponent on the top rope, Green Ant superplexed Tursas to the mat for a nearfall, before locking him in a new variation of the Chikara Special, later named Chikara Special: Green, which gave him a submission win over the Finn.
  The first match after intermission saw Colt Cabana taking on Archibald Peck, who was accompanied to the ring by Veronica and Colt Cabunny. As a result of Peck's animal testing of a new medicine for male pattern baldness, some of Cabunny's hair had turned green. At the end of the comedy match, Peck threw Cabunny in the ring and told him to attack Cabana, but he refused. Veronica then threw Peck's baton to the ring, which ended up in the hands of Cabunny. With the referee distracted, Cabunny considered his options and then hit Peck with the baton. This was followed by Cabana pinning Peck for the win. After the match Cabana and Cabunny shared a hug.
  The fifth match featured Icarus taking on Gregory Iron in the fourth match the two had against each other in 2011, with Iron leading the series 2-1. In the end, Icarus, who was throughout the match heckled with chants of "worst in the world" by the fans in attendance, hit Iron with a loaded fanny pack outside the ring as the referee of the match was busy taking a steel chair away from him. After returning to the ring, beating a countout, Iron was hit with the Wings of Icarus, which was good for a near-fall. Iron then mounted a comeback and locked in a Crippled Crossface, which Icarus, however, managed to escape from. Iron then went for a German suplex, but Icarus blocked it by grabbing the referee and then kicking Iron in the groin. Icarus followed this up with the Blu-Ray, which gave him a three count and the win in the match. After the match, Icarus was looking to continue his attack on Iron, but was stopped by his former tag team partner Gran Akuma, who had made his return to Chikara, after a 16-month absence, the previous night. Akuma then went for a kick on Icarus, but ended up hitting Iron instead as Icarus ducked out of the way. The segment ended with Akuma checking on Iron as Icarus fled the arena.
