Stalling Negative G???

So I was wondering the other night...

In PPL training, we are all taught stalling. Power off stalls, approach configuration stalls (I was even shown full power stalls) all of which point the nose to the horizon until the airflow separates from the wing.

In aerobatic aircraft, you can both stall erect, and inverted, but all point the nose to the sky until the airflow separates from the wing.

The question then… Is it possible to ‘shove’ the nose towards the ground in such a way to stall the wing?

Obviously this could not be done in the average club Cessna or Piper.

Something tells me that in theory it is doable as you can flick roll on the downward path, or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
