"From the top the axis must tilt. Be so, the hips must slide either crossline or down the line before rotating. Possibly after the accident Hogan turned his hips as fast as he could but before that I find a hard time believing this from the video I have of him. In fact, I have some footage of hogan on VHS of him performing slow motion swings at Seminole. There is a distinctive sliding of the hips."

When Hogan said "You can't turn the hips too fast", he meant the speed of the hip rotation and not when the turning starts.

The following video shows a slide to the left followed by the rotation.
