Well since he's back on tv and he has been around since I first started watching I thought it'd be cool to list best hits.
The Hollywood back lot brawl with Roddy Piper. It had everything including blood and OJ's white bronco. Fun fact, originally the wwe approached OJ Simpson for the match and he accepted, but once they realized the negative publicity, they scrapped the idea and put Goldust against Piper.
Goldust team with Mankind, it was really creepy, Mankind even called Goldust mommy lol.
The Goldust-Pillman feud. The promos were great and I think it was Brian Pillman's best work in the wwe. Unfortunately Pillman died the night before their match. Being nine years old at the time, I thought that Goldust went to Pillman's hotel room and killed him for taking his wife.
Goldust's American Dream impression. It was only one match but it was awesome. With the vignette at the beginning claiming that Dusty was a 25 times champion and that he beat Ric Flair three thousand times in a row, they were mocking Dusty's huge ego.
Goldust and Booker T team. The entire run, they were just magical together.
Goldust return in late 2013 against Randy Orton. That match was great and almost of a redemption for Goldust after years wasted because of his drug addictions, most people thought he was done during that time, instead he showed up in the best shape of his life.

That time he snuck into the NWO locker room dressed as the crocodile hunter.

That one time he was squatting on top of a toilet barefoot.

My fondest memories will always be the start of his current run, where the guy who was always known for his character work over his (admittedly solid) ring work started consistently having one of the best two or three matches of the night in his mid-'40s.
Hell, even now he's doing in-ring work that puts the work he did in his prime to shame.
It saddens me Goldust never won a world championship.

The Goldust-Booker T Lumberjack backstage segment. The look on Booker’s face with that fake beard still makes me laugh all these years later.

I love the Undertaker 1996 feud. So refreshing for Taker at the time as
1) It was someone CALLING OUT the Undertaker
2) After (not including Bret Hart) spending the majority of the past two year feuding with giant dudes, Taker had a threat that he could perform his entire moveset against.
3) The Goldust "mind games" making the perfect foil for Taker's own supernatural elements, allowing everything to make complete sense.
The way this also weaved in with his feud with Mankind allowed the rivalry to not get stale and stay enjoyable from beginning to end.

The Rhodes Dynasty was such a fantastic tag team that it sucks so much that it didn't really elevate either of them in the WWE. The fans were hot as hell for both of them standing up to the Authority but nothing really came of it.

Also, the match with then-world champion Jericho on Superstars was such an great social media moment. Right as Twitter was merging as a major entertainment force, but before WWE became obsessed with it the following year, there was this cool 2010 period where word-of-mouth allowed great matches and moments to be spread and shared.
The anticipation from hearing about this match at the taping, seeing Dust and Jericho compliment it on Twitter, and then it airing, followed by getting to revel in how great it was together was a really special moment to start the decade.

His early WWF vignettes. Those were (pun intended) pure gold.

I was out of wrestling at that point, and so had no idea they even feuded until just now. That sounds awesome. |

If you want to revisit it, start with the last Raw of April 1996 and just skip ahead to the Goldust or Undertaker matches and promos. The week-to-week build was so unique and awesome. Really a one of a kind feud. |

The team with Cody that were against the Shield were over like f***ing gangbusters, man.
In fact that whole short storyline was phenomenal. Dust was SO over in the match against Orton for a contract, and he lost it, which was absolutely the right choice, then started invading shows, it's a f***ing great angle and them beating the Shield meant SO much because of how little they jobbed.

Dont remember this one. Awesome. That was where Rosey's superhero stuff started. A couple of weeks later he had his S.H.I.T. Kit. Goldie would help anyone on the roster. Here's him trying to help Lance Storm: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTDYwOfap60 |
