I've never heard any reasoning as to why Survivor Series 1992 didn't have any elimination matches (I know they had a sort-of-SS match with the tag teams). It's never come up on any podcasts or in any magazines/books I read. 

The logical reasoning, looking at the roster at the time, is that it simply wasn't deep enough to go all-in with the elimination matches as in previous years. 

I just rememeber as a kid being really confused when the whole format of the show changed. 

Is there a story there?

Dave Meltzer spoke about this recently on the Wrestling Observer radio show. The feedback he got was that Vince believed the concept peaked in 1990, and the buy rate for the next Survivor Series wasn't near what the company expected - especially with a World Title Match thrown in for good measure. So they changed it in 1992. I suppose that's the reasoning behind only having two cage matches at the Hell In A Cell and Elimination Chamber PPV's - Vince isn't wanting to spoil the concept.

Gillian Joesph off Sky News. Her lips (mouth) I imagine can do wonderful things.

Sophy Ridge off Sky News. With that husky voice, she's probably filth. Pure filth.

Considering how "corporate" WWE are nowadays (and not to mention being named in a lawsuit), have they released any statement distancing themselves from this charade? Or is it all quiet on the Stamford front?
