I found these two "real life" action photos of Hogan in Leadbetter''s book "The Fundamentals of Hogan" and I think that they shed light on Pistol's claim that Hogan's right hand went under the left hand post-impact.



As Hogan nears impact, his left wrist/hand is flat and rotating to a position that will be flat, level and vertical at impact. However, after impact his left hand must first move left-backwards while remaining vertical to the ground (as a result of the horizontal hinging action) and then move into a supination swivel position as demonstrated in this photo. Obviously, the right hand must be pronating over the left hand when the left hand is undergoing its supination swivel action, and the process of pronation straightens the bent right wrist.
