I wouldn't have thought stick fully forwards stops the rotation, but both the above and the pilot's notes specifically state stick forwards until rotation stops. I can see the point that it isn't what stops the rotation, but rather an instruction to do it until the rotation ceases.
Opposite Rudder tends to slow the rotation, but the ac is still spinning (stalled).

Stick forward is attempting to unstall the wings. However, it will also initially tend to speed up the rotation (look up B/A ratio ) - in the type above, that is why the "PAUSE" - slow the rotation as much as possible prior stick forward.

Leave it up to the TPs to experiment and devise the recovery drill - as above shows, each type needs to be considered differently.
