If you don't unload the wing this is the end result. Standard recovery requires unloading the wing first and foremost ie relax the back pressure, stop any rotation with rudder and level the wings with aileron. With the exception of a few wing platforms, this is the only correct technique. Use of power will vary too based on aircraft type etc. As for the myth of using rudder to pick up a wing, you do this at your own peril. It's been an incorrect technique taught by inexperienced instructors, and a lazy regularly littered by people that have been taught incorrectly as well.
