Would anyone happen to know what this green wire is for??? I have no idea what it is but it looks like it was ripped or something.

ya i didn't explain that very well... coming out of the back of the steering column will be two big connectors, connector a (14 pin) and connector b (20 pin) which is how everything on that column hooks into the rest of the car. pin 5 on one of those should be a green wire, and if you can trace it back to that broken green wire then it is definatly the horn. the green also carries +12V the black is ground for the horn switch. those should plug in to that spiral cable that was originally plugged in to the horn switch on the stock wheel.

They're metal parts on springs that contact metal(causing a ground connection, switching on the relay and making the horn sound) when pushed down. Here's a pic:
