f you do it rapidly, the wing will stall (Like a flick-roll entry) in either case, you will be going downhill rapidly, but if the stick is central, THE WING WILL NOT BE STALLED!
Sorry, you can't have it both ways! in one bit you say "the wing will stall (like a flick roll entry)" then you say it will not be stalled. I agree that the nose will be going down and may recover from the stall but you CAN stall with the stick central - ask anyone who has cocked up a stall turn by not getting properly vertical and being late with the rudder - they will have stick central and the WING WILL STALL, yes it will end up going down and will not need much more to recover but it will still have stalled. Also if you do a high nose up stall and centralise the stick just before the stall you can still stall (I will admit 10kts before, the aircraft MAY recover nose down before stalling but if slow enough, the increase in alpha from the nose going down can actually CAUSE the wing to stall), though the entry will have had the stick back as you say.
