Clutch exaggeration...... or fact?

Is it possible to weld a clutch together so that it won't disengage by means of overheating it? A buddy was doing a break stand to burn off his old tires on his '01 or '02 or whatever it is, and he tried to shift to third and keep the tires spinning. The truck stalled, now he can't disengage his clutch. He pushes the pedal to the floor and nothing happens. Me and another buddy say he blew something in his hydraulic assembly, but the guy insists that he overheated his clutch to the point that it fused the discs together. Is this even possible?
