Normal summon, no. Special summon, yes.
The reason is, when Obelisk is normal summoned, no spells, traps or monster effects can be activated. That means it prevents anything being activated in the 'summon response' window, which is where you'd normally use cards like Trap Hole, Bottomless Trap Hole, Torrential Tribute, etc.

Does bottomless trap hole negate effects?
No. No part of Bottomless Trap Hole negates effects. However a monster's continuous effect requires it to remain face-up on the field. In those cases, the monster effect will cease to apply as the monster is gone.
Which is better - Trap Hole or Bottomless Trap Hole?
It depends on the circumstances. Generally, "Bottomless Trap Hole" will be the better card; it works on Special Summons and it removes the monster it destroys from play. However, "Trap Hole" has one advantage: the monster summoned only needs 1000 ATK to trigger it, whereas "Bottomless Trap Hole" requires at least 1500 ATK. So, it would depend upon the type of deck you planned to use or went up against, but most people would choose "Bottomless Trap Hole".
If you 'Trap Hole' a monster whose effect activates when it is flip summoned is the effect still activated but the monster destroyed?
The effect activates first, and you are actually chaining Trap Hole to that trigger. Trap Hole will resolve first, but it will not stop the monster effect from resolving. Unless a card says it negates a monster's effect, then it is still able to resolve its affect when flip summoned.
Can you use bottomless trap hole during the battle phase if your opponent activates call of the haunted or gorz the emissary?
You can't use Bottomless Trap Hole in the Damage Step of the Battle Phase (the period of play that starts when the defending monster is flipped, to the time monsters destroyed by battle go to the graveyard and anything that triggers from that finishes resolving). But you can't use Call of the Haunted during those times either, so any valid use of Call of the Haunted can have Bottomless Trap Hole used against it if the monster has enough ATK. If Gorz is being summoned outside the Damage Step, then yes, Bottomless Trap Hole can be used against him. If he is being summoned due to battle damage, this is in the Damage Step, so Bottomless Trap Hole can't be used against him.
'Tyrant Dragon' vs 'Bottomless Trap Hole'?
Bottomless Trap Hole does not target, so Tyrant Dragon is unable to negate it.
