Your explanation of "right hand power' makes more sense than any other explanation that I have seen proposed so far. I can readily understand the idea of the right triceps supplying non-accelerating thrust power to the bent right wrist through impact - especially with Hogan who had a very open pelvis at impact with his right elbow in front of his right hip and his right elbow still bent. I can envisage the right forearm powering through the impact zone against a bent right wrist (while continuously supplying extensor action).
What I cannot understand is the idea that Hogan powered his swing via a right hand uncocking phenomenon as proposed by Pistol, who claims that Hogan's right hand underwent a palmar extension/supination process through impact (right hand working under the left hand). The reason why I don't believe it comes from observation of Hogan's hand movements through impact (frontal view photos previously presented) and Hogan's own description in his book "Five Lessons". Here is a diagram from that book.
One can see that his left wrist is slightly arched at impact, and immediately thereafter Hogan describes the feeling of "supination" of the left hand, as can be seen in those diagrams. If the left hand is supinating post-impact as Hogan moves into his finish swivel action, then the right hand must be pronating over (not under) the left hand.
