"The Resurrection of Jimber-Jaw" is a 1937 short story by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, about an unfrozen 50,000-year-old caveman.
The story turns about an experimental aviator and a cryogenicist, who are flying over Siberia when forced to land, after an airplane mechanical failure.
Returned to America, he is given the stage name of Jim Stone, after he proves to be a professional wrestling sensation, who throws all contenders over the ropes and into the crowd.
Stone/Kolani eventually falls in love with a popular movie actress, who as it happens is a look-alike for his intended mate of long ago.
After finding the actress, whom he has been romancing, with another man, he deliberately refreezes himself in a meat locker, with a note that he is seeking his real mate, and not to thaw him out again.
